Transgender women's inclusion in women's sport has been a contentious, divisive issue for several years. Listen to an expert's perspective on this episode hosted by Abigail Irozuru with Sharron Davies - a broadcaster, author, former ITV Gladiator and Olympic swimmer who is passionate about fair sport.

During Sharron’s swimming career, she and her colleagues personally experienced the damaging effects of unfair sport through East Germany's dominant era, as a result of their state-sponsored doping regime. Sharron ultimately sees transgender inclusion in the women’s category as another example of unfair sport, which she also expresses in her most recent book - Unfair Sport, the battle for Women’s sport, co-authored with Craig Lord.

This is a conversation in 3-parts

1. The East German era of doping and its impact of which Sharron was personally victim to

2. Women’s sport - it’s growth and transgender inclusion

3. Perspective and predictions for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in track and field and swimming
