A controversial new Olympics-style sporting event where athletes will be permitted – and even encouraged – to use performance-enhancing drugs is set to debut in Las Vegas next year.

Joining Anton to discuss was David Nolan, Assistant Professor of Sport and Exercise Science at the DCU School of Health and Human Performance.
