This highlight edition of our podcast On Side features our chat with AIS Chief Medical Officer Dr David Hughes on inclusion in sport following last year’s release of the Guidelines for the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse people in sport.

Dr Hughes says transgender and gender diversity is not a sport issue, it’s a societal issue. “It’s important that sport at all time reflects societal changes, and moves with societal changes,” Dr Hughes says.

Three-time Paralympian Michael Roeger has dreamed of winning gold for his country - ever since he was a young boy growing up in Langhorne Creek.

Michael talks about the Tokyo 2020 setback given his “hot” start to the year and why he thinks Paralympians are less likely to dope than their Olympic counterparts.

Each month we celebrate one of the great moments in Australian sport in our segment From The Highlight Reel. This time we relive the 1989 Rugby League Grand Final - regarded by many as the greatest of all time - with try scorer Steve Jackson.

Jackson, the self-confessed naughty boy who rather than dip his toe in the water would dive head-first, admits he played and lived his dream. He also talks about his transformation and how he now uses his own experiences to help young people.

Our final guest is Australian marathon runner Cassie Fien, who was preparing for the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games before she was banned for nine months after taking a supplement.

It’s a powerful story.

She talks about the devastating moment she was told she was banned and the impacts that ban had on her career and her life.

Her sanction had a far-reaching impact.
