The Dark Secret Behind Pain Killer Use In Pro Cycling

About this episode

Today, Anthony takes listeners deep inside one of pro cycling’s most uncomfortable truths — the legal but dangerous world of painkiller use. For decades, riders were handed codeine and similar drugs to help them “push through” the agony of racing — a chemical crutch that wasn’t banned but carried heavy consequences. How did teams justify dosing their athletes in the name of performance and recovery? And what happens to those riders when the race is over and the pills stop? This episode exposes how blurred the line between care and exploitation really is in the peloton.
