July 30, 2008, 7:53 a.m.
In today’s show we look at some of the chemistry going on both inside and outside athletes’ bodies. We talk with John Hoberman, a professor at the University of Texas, Austin, and the author of Testosterone Dreams: Rejuvenation, Aphrodisia, Doping, for some perspective on how steroids became part of the culture of sport. Later on, CHF’s Erin McLeary explains why you might want to invest in some Lycra if you want to set a world record in swimming. Element of the Week: Potassium.
