In this engaging conversation, the host and author Dr. Alexander Hutchison dive deep into his book, 'In Defense of Doping.'

Hutchison provides insight into his personal journey and experiences, including being denied a therapeutic use exemption for testosterone in weightlifting. The conversation addresses the moral complexities and the perceived hypocrisy in the anti-doping stance, exploring why athletes choose to dope and highlighting how performance-enhancing drugs are pervasive in all aspects of life.
