Saturday Panel: Online abuse of athletes | Social media as 'a drug'

Update: 2024-03-30

Description

This week on The Saturday Panel we're delving into the area of off-pitch and online issues that face athletes.

Joining John Duggan in studio: Leigh Nicol, an ex-professional footballer and victim of sextortion; Fraser Franks, also a former professional footballer who had football suddenly taken from him owing to a heart condition; and Matt Himsworth, a media lawyer who protects players from so many evils that lurk online.
