File on 4 on the radiogram is running a documentary about legal drug use in sport - "Gain without the Pain". It's an interesting listen (IMHO) because it covers the full gamut of legal drug use from amateur to international professional sports people.
There's only so much that can be squeezed into 40 minutes, but it manages to cover quite a few bases in the time, from performance gains to long term effects of anti-inflammatories to opioid addiction. It tips the hat at many sports (rugby figures heavily) but unsurprisingly cycling also gets a look in. Well worth a listen, especially if you regularly use painkillers to get through rides.

Mods: the programme is wide ranging enough to live outside the "Pro Cycling" forum, but feel free to move if you feel the need (Fitness?)
