Episode 12 - Cheating in Sport with Dr. Greg Reeds
Description
Institutionalized Cheating, where everyone has a role. The K.O. Influencers are joined by Dr. Greg Reeds, Professor Emeritus of Kinesiology and expert in Sport Psychology as we "bang the can" on how cheating has changed sport. In light of the recent Houston Astro's scandal, we discuss the effects of US Postal, Deflategate, Ben Johnson, the MLB Steroid Era and more on sport. Why do they cheat? Is the money too big in our time? As sport reveals character, and simpler times revealed simpler cheats, technology introduces high-tech cheats. Yet, when is technology acceptable (bike design, sideline radio communication) and when is it not (swim skin suits, Nike Vaporfly)? Join us on this journey into the cheating "box of chocolates!"
