The Immortality Factor: the fight to protect athletes from abuse
Nancy Hogshead-Makar is a triple Olympic gold-medalist and a crusader for athletes. She has fought the rampant sexual, physical, and mental abuse that many sports people have endured. She talked with Declan about her life's work. The week we broadcast her episode - the U.S. Congress passed the law ’S 2330 Empowering Olympic, Paralympic, and Amateur Athletes Act 2020’ that Nancy had been instrumental in drafting. Listen to the episode if you are an athlete, know an athlete, or are the parent of an athlete. It's a shocking story.
WARNING: This episode contains references to sexual abuse.
