Episode 1751: Munster’s James Cronin And His 1-Month Drug Ban, Novak Djokovic’s Anti-Vaxxer Stance, David Icke And Bat-Boy, Second Captains Egomaniacs

Medicine appears to be the key component of today’s show. First of all, Ken gets a taste of his own medicine as a disgruntled listener outlines his less-than-polite interactions with Ken – mere days after Ken upbraided Murph for a similar incident.

We then discuss James Cronin’s 1-month drugs ban with Shane Horgan – the adjudicating committee found that Cronin had to bear at least some of the blame for an administrative foul-up that meant he got another person’s prescription, but just how much of the blame should Cronin bear? We also ask Shane about rugby’s overall image when it comes to PEDs.

And after all that, we get to discuss Novak Djokovic’s anti-vaxxer outlook on life, and Ken goes off on one about David Icke, the Deep State, Bat-boy and the danger of “hey, I’m just asking questions here”.
