    Thoroughly enjoying these podcast that are giving simple and practical ways to implement a high performance culture in my life and business. The interview techniques adopted by Jake and Damian give me a chance to hear questions and answers from truly unique angles, that allow myself and other listeners to think and act outside of the box.
    Well done to you both. And Thank you.
    Looking forward to more.

    It is easy to miss one drugs test. Chris Froome, Tour de France winner, missed one because he was staying at an Italian hotel on holiday. He had informed the testers, as standard. However, the hotel staff refused to give the testers access to guest rooms, and wouldn't call up to the room because it was 7am. Froome only knew about it during breakfast when staff told him the testers were there but hotel policy was to not disturb guests. Totally innocent situation.
    Kelly Sotherton, UK heptathlon, missed a test because she left a training session 10 minutes early. Again, totally innocent.
    Now, I don't know about footballers, but I'm sure they have to miss THREE CONSECUTIVE tests to get a ban. If true, how can a professional like Rio let that happen ??!?!?!?!! He was at Man Utd at the time; you would think the club would do everything in their power to ensure Rio was available, I don't know, get a staff member to be on 24 hour alert to tell Rio he HAS to be at certain locations, just in case the testers show up, and shadow him until he was in the clear. I would have placed a bodyguard on him 24/7.
    Also, these testers usually show up at a club's training ground, and after games. This means the footballers would normally be there for training/a game anyway. Are you trying to convince people that a professional footballer like Rio accidentally missed three tests?

    Lol people in the comment section grilling Rio should look into what Pep has done.
    Caught for doping as a player in Italy in 2001 (wasn’t proven clean they just let the case drag on).
    Then hired the same doctor from Italy to Barcelona, and was Caught for doping as Barcelona manager (instructing his players Xavi Iniesta etc. to take special doses).
    Caught for breaching doping regulations as City boss in 2017 but that was swept under the rug too.
