Sport Unlocked - A podcast by Sports News Insiders
The big sports news issues of the week analysed by Rob Harris, Martyn Ziegler and Tariq Panja. On the agenda: We have more details from the IOC about how they think the Olympics can be staged this year, but what are the lingering issues facing Tokyo? Hear from the IOC President Thomas Bach, who was also questioned on human rights in China ahead of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. UEFA also met this week and expressed confidence in the Euros going ahead in 12 cities. But could venues still be removed and what's the latest on fans getting into stadiums? We got a bleak financial forecast about the pandemic's impact on European football but will clubs really collectively lose 8.5 billion euros across two seasons as European Club Association chairman Andrea Agnelli claims? Leeds United has new investment from the San Francisco 49ers. How will it transform Leeds? We discuss corruption in a sport that isn't always in the global headlines as a new investigation reveals how the boss of biathlon accepted gifts from Russians and repaid the favors by doing the country’s bidding by covering up doping. And the shows concludes with the latest on TV rights talks in cricket and French football. Please rate, review and subscribe.
