Rat poison cocktails: an Enhanced Games special (bonus ep with Redhanded podcast)

from The Upshot · host The Upshot

Doping was once a noble art, where Victorian eccentrics plied human guinea pigs with rat poison cocktails and cocaine enemas. But with the launch of the Enhanced Games, it’s gone professional. To celebrate this Las Vegas freakshow, we join legendary true crime podcast Redhanded for a special bonus episode on the history of doping.
