In episode 17 of 'Wind Yer Neck In' we welcome David Walsh, the chief sports writer for the British newspaper The Sunday Times and author of multiple books. David has enjoyed over forty years as a sports journalist and has rubbed shoulders with some of the best sportsmen and women out there. David talks us through the most impressive athletes that he’s encountered, including one of the greatest golfers to ever play the game, Tiger Woods. David is world renowned for writing books on the Tour De France and more specifically he was the journalist who first asked questions around Lance Armstrong’s alleged use of performance enhancing drugs. David and I delve into what that was like for him and how he asked the questions that no one else wanted to when it involved the seven time Tour De France winner. David reflects on the pressures that came with that and the ways in which he managed them. Finally David and I consider how journalism is changing and the importance of 'the printed word'. As always, we hope you enjoy this chat with one of sport's biggest characters. Let us know what you think on Twitter (@WindYerNeck_In) and Instagram (windyerneck.in)!
