Episode 1424: Rice And The ‘RA, John Delaney Daily, Lance, Landis And The Perception Of Dopers
Declan Rice’s statement distancing himself from the IRA on the eve of his England international debut has prompted gales of laughter from pretty much all sides, but it’s been a strange week for the curious strand of republicanism espoused by the likes of the Wolfe Tones. Ken shares his thoughts and gives the latest “Delaney Daily” (4.10 mins).
Only the hardest heart could fail to laugh about a bit all this… One day you’re writing a nuanced, preachy article about identity and the journey of self discovery. The next Declan’s on Instagram in his balaclava pic.twitter.com/L028Z6FtEo

We talk to Cillian Kelly (21.40 mins) of the Velocast – This Week In Cycling podcast about why dopers are often treated harshly or not based on their personality rather than their misdemeanours, Paul Kimmage’s admiration for Floyd, and the slightly-less-than-spectacular Team Sky rebrand.
