    #205 Belarus Are Back But Not Russia
    May 8 2026
    The International Olympic Committee says sports around their world should lift their ban on Belarus competing individually or as a national team, that's been in place since the Ukraine War started in 2022. The IOC Executive Board says athletes "should not be limited by the actions of their governments". But Russia remain banned not because of war but of concerns about the anti-doping regime - its ten years since they were found guilty of state sponsored doping at Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. Are these the right decisions? We hear from President Kirsty Coventry. In a bumper News from the Games edition there's French Alps, Youth Olympics and Brisbane updates, Glasgow 2026 Commonwealths and Birmingham European Athletics headlines.

    Great British Bosses - Eilidh Doyle
    May 3 2026
    Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth medalist - Eilidh Doyle is Scotland's most decorated track and field athlete - but she doesn't like to mention it! The face of the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games is now an ambassador as the Games return to the Scottish City for the second time in 12 years, if not in quite the same capacity. But with the centenary around the corner, at least Glasgow saved the movement - now it's time to put on a show! And as Eilidh is a proud Hearts fan - we break the habit of a lifetime and ask what's more nerve-wracking an Olympic final or the Edinburgh club potentially winning the Scottish Premier League for the first time?
