We travel back to 2000 for another look back at the Sydney 2000 Olympics and Paralympics. This month Alison explores what's considered to be the biggest Paralympic scandal of all time, Spain's cheating in the Basketball ID tournament. Then Jill looks at the Olympic Road Cycling events, which feature inspirational legends, amazing comebacks, and Lance Armstrong.
If you want a thoroughly depressing look at doping in cycling during this era, here's a handy infographic: https://www.sportingintelligence.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Cycle-of-suspicion-JPEG.jpg
