Sport has the power to let us forget our troubles for a while as we bask in the excitement of human endeavour, courage and competition.
However charlatans, shysters and cheats also taint great competitions. The TwoMacs recall fantastic Olympic memories and heroes going back decades, as well as the darker side with those who cheated their way to the podium. We also recall cyclists whose glory was a lie, boxing fixes, a few dodgy GAA refs and a battle to end all battles in Croke Park, when on-field decisions resulted in Derry supporters and the Gardai engaged in mass hand-to-hand combat.
Tune in for a captivating exploration of the highs and lows that make sport an integral part of our lives.
