Biomedicine, Chemistry, Sport
Drugs in sport are big news and the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport is common. Biochemist Chris Cooper will look at the science behind drugs in sport. What are the limits of human performance? What stops us running faster, throwing longer, or jumping higher? Find out how these drugs work and whether the 'doping' methods of choice are worth the risk for athletes.
