Eleanor Oldroyd and guests Ryan Sidebottom, Fran Halsall and Maggie Alphonsi discuss the pressure on athletes to be squeaky clean and how to control emotions in top flight.

Eleanor Oldroyd and a panel of sports stars at the top of their games tackle the big issues in sport this week.

As tennis player, Dan Evans potentially faces a 5 year ban for testing positive for cocaine, he has been told it could be less if his use was not related to enhancing his on-court performance. Is this the right approach compared to people in other professions? And how do sports stars handle the pressure to be squeaky clean in all aspects of their lives?

Following John McEnroe's controversial comments about Serena Williams and F1 driver, Sebastian Vettel's "road rage" moment at last weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix, how do you control your emotions in top-flight sport?

Joining Eleanor to discuss these and more are former England fast bowler, Ryan Sidebottom, World champion swimmer Fran Halsall and Rugby Union World Cup winner Maggie Alphonsi. Plus a look ahead to this weekend's sporting action.
