Drugs and Sports Podcast

Dickie Okochi-Friday, Rhys Llewellyn and Annette Mwangi

Pull up a chair as we chat about the drugs, supplements and science behind sport!

Literally what it says on the can: Drugs, sports and everything else between! Expect real evidence, strong opinions and a fair bit of laughing along the way. Whether you're an athlete, coach, clinician or just nosy about what goes on behind the scenes, you're in the right place. 🎧 Subscribe and hit the bell. We promise it's more fun than a medication review. For educatio

    PASSING THE BATON!! | EP 00 FT JESS AND NILHAN

    We are back!!   In this first episode we start with the important stuff: pet stories, what we've been up to lately, and some recent travels. Then we talk about how we use AI tools in our research and teaching, and where we think they help and where they don't. Next we get into why we took on the podcast. Each of us has worked in sports pharmacy, and we share what that's been like and why we care about helping young athletes separate myth from fact on doping and performance-enhancing substances. To finish, we pick our favourite Olympic events and play a round of Blind Rankings, where we rank sports and exercises without knowing what's coming next. Expect some strong opinions. Hit follow so you don't miss what's next!!
