English journalist Rebecca Lowe set off on a cross country bike ride with a difference in July 2015. Having specialized in writing about human rights, justice and the law in the Middle East she determined it was time to travel those dusty roads to breathe the air and feel the political and cultural pulse of the region for herself. For nine months she would traverse 20 countries across 3 continents clocking up 6,835 miles or 11,000 kilometers.  Part of her motivation was “to tell stories through the lens of people rather than politics. To shun the abstract for the specific, the exceptional for the commonplace. To bring humans back into the debate.”

Sara Gross and Kelly O'Mara delve into the issues surrounding doping, including why this topic has been so hot since the 2016 Olympic Games. Who is really in charge of catching cheaters and why the system is flawed? We catch and treat cheaters like criminals but how do we stop athletes from doping in the first place?  Also news from the Boston marathon - the first woman to run the race wasn't Katherine Switzer, after all, yet we applaud Katherine regardless. The Gripe of the Week comes from British Cycling’s recent blunder and the Hype of the Week involves a Canadian company that has expanded their line of mannequins to look like “real athletic women.”  The Locker Room is a place where women talk about sports.
