Lunch 35 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 3: with you as well. Thanks for remembering. 36 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: Sometimes I've noticed that I've had a concussion that makes 37 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 2: me forget these. 38 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 3: Anyway, Let's say you look around the Grand Its ground, 39 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 3: shall we. 40 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: In the tennis, after discussions at the Australian Open, the 41 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: proposal for a WTAATP merge eye is gaining momentum. So 42 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: WTA the Women's ATP the men's tennis. They exist as 43 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: they was to compete at the same time for the 44 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: Grand Slams, but they exist as separate bodies. 45 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, and they also have different tours as such underneath 46 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 4: the Grand Slams. 47 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: So there's an aim in this merger to create a 48 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: new elite premium tour. The vision is to have an 49 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: elite tour consisting of eleven to fourteen combined Sorry, business 50 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 2: distracted me with her carrot colored drink that actually matches 51 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: te fat orange on her microphone. 52 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 3: It's going to be a long day. 53 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 2: Apologies continue, please eleven to fourteen combined men's and women's tournaments, 54 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: similar to F one's Global Motorsports Series. This would run 55 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: parallel to the Grand Slams and most importantly, ensure equal 56 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: pay for women athletes throughout the entire tennis season. The 57 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 2: remaining ATP and WTA Tour tournaments would form a development tour, 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: which would feature players who. 59 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 3: Are outside the top one hundred. The potential benefits are enormous. 60 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: By solidating media rites. 61 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: And sponsorship deals under one brand, the combined tour could 62 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: generate more revenue than the separate WTA and ATP tours. 63 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 2: This move could alleviate financial stress for the WTA and 64 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 2: provide more opportunities for women tennis stars to earn substantial 65 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: awards even outside Grand Slam events, which I think. 66 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: Is probably the key, isn't it. 67 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: We know that there's the equal prize money in the 68 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 2: Grand Slam events, but outside of that. 69 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 3: It's not equal pay. Yes, correct. 70 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 4: So The Telegraph in the UK reported that WTA boss 71 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 4: Stephen Steve Simon is open to the proposal, emphasizing the 72 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 4: importance of equal pay. 73 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 3: And billing for women athletes. 74 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 4: Yet there are challenges still I had, particularly in navigating 75 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 4: financial considerations and potential partnerships with Saudi Arabia, a nation 76 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 4: keen on expanding its footprint in at women's tennis. So 77 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 4: we've obviously in Saudi Arabia with the lib goalf and 78 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 4: things like that. We've spoken about them before. Tennis legends 79 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 4: Chris Ebatt and Martina navrath Loova both voiced their concerns 80 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 4: about Souda Arabi's record on women's rights in a Washington 81 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 4: Post article recently, writing, not only is this a country 82 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 4: where women are not seen as equal, it is a 83 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 4: country which criminalizes the LGBTQ plus community, a country whose 84 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 4: long term record on human rights and basic freedoms has 85 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 4: been a matter of international concern for decades. 86 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: Billy Jean King has argued that engagement with the. 87 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 4: Government in statuover is the best way to bring about change. 88 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 3: Interesting one, isn't it? And I know We have spoken 89 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: about this on the rape in the past, I. 90 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 2: Think, and we did talk about the fate that Billy 91 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: Jean King's approach is to try and use sport as 92 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: a vehicle for change, which we love nation within, we 93 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: love Billy Jean King. What does concern mean? I think 94 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 2: it's probably a. 95 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: Good reminder around. 96 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: LGBTQI plus rights that in that nation is that Tennis 97 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: is not going to be able to come in and 98 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 2: say stop criminalizing same sex relationships and marriages. 99 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Like, very true, There's only 100 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 3: so how much you can do with that. So how 101 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: much are you willing to accept if you do enter 102 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: into something like that. 103 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, and I think obviously Billy Jen King's 104 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 4: thought processes, we get in there, more exposure to female athletes, 105 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 4: you know, some loosening of restrictions in that space, we'll 106 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 4: hopefully get. 107 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: The ball rolling and lead to bigger, greater things. But 108 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 3: it is I think it is. 109 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 4: A very and we've spoken again about this before, but 110 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 4: it's a very hard conversation when you talk about the 111 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 4: amount of money they're offering and if a WTA does 112 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 4: need that money and it's not. 113 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 3: Being offered from anywhere else. Sometimes you've just got of great. 114 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 5: You've got to park the moral, don't you. 115 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: I don't know anyway. 116 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 6: Regardless of the conflicting opinions in the public space, it 117 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 6: seems certain that the season ending WTA two of finals 118 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 6: will take place in Saudi Arabia, marking the latest step 119 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 6: in the country's huge investment in elite sport. 120 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 5: When it comes to merger talks, the atyp is reported 121 00:05:59,520 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 5: to be. 122 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 4: Less keen on the idea given its stronger financial position, 123 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 4: but it can't be denied that the sport is definitely 124 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 4: at a cross roads. 125 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 5: Tennis Australia chief Craig Tiley told The Telegraph. 126 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 4: All the state goals in tennis have been working on 127 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 4: a solution for the game and it's a journey to 128 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 4: get to that point. The Slams are very united in 129 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 4: their resolve, but it's a complex problem to solve. If 130 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 4: it wasn't complicated, it would have been sold already. These ideas, 131 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 4: aren't you. But what may be new is the motivation 132 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 4: to give it a go and to see if there's 133 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 4: that opportunity. 134 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: In basketball, the NBA All Star Weekend is approaching and 135 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 2: we are in for an epic showdown between two phenomenal shooters. 136 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 2: The legendary is Steph Curry and w NBA sensation Sabrini 137 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 2: and Escue. 138 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 3: There's been a bit of banter between. 139 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 2: The two of them that started a few months ago, 140 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: with both players expressing their desire to face off in 141 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: a three point competition.

See you 148 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: at the three point line? 149 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: So good? How good? 150 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: She? 151 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: Sabrina squad an almost perfect thirty seven points in the 152 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: w NBA's three point contests last summer, which topped Curry's 153 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 2: NBA three three point contest best of thirty one. 154 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 4: So the rules are pretty simple.

Yeah, very true last week. 358 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 5: The victory also means she moves past dale Beeg Smith 359 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 5: to become the most successful mogul Skire Australia has ever produced. 360 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 3: Probably should get a post up about that. Should do. 361 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 4: Also in Dear Valley Aerial Skis, Daniel Scott and Abby 362 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 4: Wilcocks have achieved podium finishers, coming second and third respectively 363 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 4: three time Olympians.

Her name is Winter and she's a snowspoorter. 366 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 4: It's meant to be amazing, but it was relegated to 367 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 4: silver through a tiebreak. It was Scott's eighteenth World Cup 368 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 4: medal and she now sits second behind her Necky on 369 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 4: the World Cup standings, with two hundred point ahead of 370 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 4: wh we said the final three events in season. 371 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 2: In some more basketball news, the Sydney Flames have announced 372 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 2: they will recognize the contributions of Lauren Jackson to New 373 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: South Wales basketball in their final home game of the season. 374 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: The game against lj's Southside Flyers will be played on Sunday, 375 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: February eighteenth at. 376 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 3: Two forty five pm local time. 377 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 2: And the Hoops Capitol Club has decided to shift their 378 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 2: game from Key Center to Kudos Bank Arena to allow 379 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 2: more basketball fans to attend what could be Jackson's last 380 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: professional game in Sydney.

To do so, we'll need to inclip seven, 386 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 2: six hundred and eighty one fans who coincidentally watch the 387 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 2: Flames defeat Southside at John Can Arena on Feb four 388 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 2: last year.

I also love that. 404 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 5: I was actually thinking about this. This is the Sydney Flames. 405 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 5: This is I get that she is from Aubrey and 406 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 5: all the Doonga, the New So Far. 407 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 3: Side, which every one that is we're Donga. 408 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 5: But she never actually. 409 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 3: Played for the Sydney Flames. 410 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 4: So we're talking about an organization where they're going to 411 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 4: celebrate her because she's so good. 412 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 3: It's like an opposition team putting a party on for you. 413 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 3: That's pretty cool. 414 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 4: It just shows what an imployed she has had on 415 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,479 Speaker 4: the sport in this country. 416 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 2: Absolutely, So get around it. Are your chance to say 417 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: thanks to the goat. 418 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 5: Sunday, February eighteenth, two forty. 419 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 3: Five, say look at the key story. So the Enhanced Games. 420 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 4: Billionaire Peter Teel is stirring the pot with an audacious 421 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 4: project called the Enhanced Games. A Silicon Valley heavyweight known 422 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 4: for his early investments in PayPal and Facebook, is backing 423 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 4: The Enhanced Games, which is an event dubbed the Olympics 424 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 4: on Steroids. 425 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 3: It's see your Face Already. 426 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 4: The brainchild of doctor Aaron Desuza, this competition is set 427 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 4: to challenge traditional Olympic model embracing the use of performance 428 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 4: enhancing drugs. Enhanced FANS aims to encourage athletes to push 429 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 4: the boundaries of human performance using nutritional supplements and bio 430 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 4: hacks all out in the open. I like that we 431 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 4: use the word biohacks and not just flat out performance 432 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 4: enhancing drugs. Yeah, the SOUS the plans to reveal more 433 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 4: details on April seventeen, but we currently know that competition 434 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 4: is expected to include five events swimming, gymnastics, weightlifting, track 435 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 4: and field, and combat. Interestingly, I read that they only 436 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 4: want to do individual events, not team events. 437 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 5: But it's really about how one person can. 438 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 3: Push themselves, right, Okay. 439 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 4: It will be held annually at existing venues and soon 440 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 4: this philosophy is clear. He says that athletes should have 441 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 4: the freedom to make choices about their bodies. 442 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 3: Enhanced Games will allow athletes. 443 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 4: To use substances openly, contrasting with the strict antidoping measures 444 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 4: at traditional Olympics and all other organized sports. 445 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 3: Yes, there are many questioning. 446 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 5: The safety of athletes that choose to compete in the Games. 447 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 4: However, Michael Sagner, a member of the game's Scientific and 448 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 4: Medical Advisory Board and a clinician, and researcher in aging 449 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 4: and sports medicine at King's College in London. 450 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 5: So the enhanced games will. 451 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 4: Pursue a sophisticated safety protocol that will not put out 452 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 4: sorry and that will put athletes health first. And noted, 453 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 4: contemporary drug testing practiced in sports today is not necessarily 454 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 4: about athletes safety. It often skews the public perception of 455 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 4: fairness and healthy competitive sports. 456 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 3: That's an interesting one. I'll come back to that. 457 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 2: But Adame is another goat Australia's Olympic chef di mission 458 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 2: for Paris twenty twenty four. She's expressed strong opposition, calling 459 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 2: it a joke and unfair. Critics argue that the concept 460 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 2: not only a dangerous athletes' health, but the integrity of 461 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: sport itself. Desuza told the New York Posts the aimers 462 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 2: to allow athletes to use whatever substances they wish out 463 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 2: in the open and honestly, unlike at the Olympics, where 464 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: forty four percent of Olympians admit to using bad substance 465 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 2: as well, only one percent get caught. 466 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 3: Where has he got that stat from. 467 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 4: I'm not sure I didn't delve deeper into that, but 468 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 4: it's a step that he's quoting. 469 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 3: That is, there cannot be a start like that. 470 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 2: I aggressively disagree with that statistic. Maybe if we're talking 471 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 2: in the eighties, your repining has gone back a fair way. 472 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, potentially. 473 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 2: Anyway, he said, individuals should be able to make choices 474 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 2: about your body, and no one, whether it's a sports 475 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: federation or the government, should be able to tell them 476 00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 2: what to. 477 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 3: Do about it or as thoughts. 478 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 5: Firstly, we probably don't have to go back to the eighties. 479 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 3: We look at the Sydney Olympics. 480 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 4: Glorious time to be in Sydney, an amazing sporting event. 481 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 4: Marion Jones absolute darling with the Sydney Olympics. She was cheating, yes, 482 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 4: and she wasn't alone. I'm sure there was a lot 483 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 4: of athletes on that drug. And I think for me, 484 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,719 Speaker 4: whilst I do believe that an athlete's health comes first 485 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 4: and that there are pressures to do and take things 486 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 4: that may be an issue to their health, I do 487 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 4: believe that the issue, the biggest issue, and this was 488 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 4: you know, obviously very clear in that Sydney Olympics case, 489 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,239 Speaker 4: is that sometimes these drugs actually have to exist for 490 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 4: a certain amount of time before people can develop tests 491 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 4: for them. 492 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 5: Those tests can be ratified and can be used on athletes. 493 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 4: So you're kind of talking, from what I've read, a 494 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 4: three to four window of almost free go for it. 495 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 3: Anyway, when you say three and four Olympic. 496 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 5: Cycles, no years, so so one of good cycles. 497 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but the drive has. 498 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 4: To be known and exist for a test to be 499 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 4: developed and things like that. I think they're definitely getting 500 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 4: better at it. I'm sure now it's not quite like that, 501 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 4: but that was the case with the CLEE, which is 502 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 4: what everyone was using at Sydney. Yeah, look, health issues aside. 503 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 4: I just feel like this could be an even playing 504 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 4: field for the first time ever. 505 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 2: That's interesting, and I think to agree with you to 506 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: an extent on this idea around the fact that it 507 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: does take a little while for them to sometimes catch 508 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 2: up with the technology to catch. 509 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 3: These athletes out. 510 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 2: I feel devastated for the athletes when a medal is 511 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: taking off someone for drugs, and the athletes then there's 512 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 2: suddenly like, oh, by the way, you want to go 513 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 2: a medal, you just won't ever get to stand on 514 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 2: the podium properly. Like I think that is hor horrible. 515 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 3: I just to me it doesn't. I should probably silence 516 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 3: my laptop. It doesn't sit right. 517 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 2: It's not really you as an athlete. It's what can 518 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 2: a drug do for your body in this scenario, Whereas 519 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: the whole thing about the Olympics, Paralympics, World Championships is 520 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 2: that it's about what can you do to push yourself 521 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 2: to the best physical capacity. Whereas this is what is 522 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 2: the best drug to make. 523 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 3: You the best athlete?
