Can Olympic Sport Learn from Bodybuilding?

Description

Drugs are a problem in many sports, including a number of Olympic sports, and Bodybuilding provides an interesting example of a sport which has tried to tackle the problem of drugs through offering two categories of participation.

Two case studies illustrate how this approach works through the experiences and insights of the current British Champion and a former World Champion.
