'Thank god I got arrested': Ben Cousins & Scott Miller on drugs, jail & surviving rock bottom

Former AFL player Ben Cousins and Olympic swimmer Scott Miller join me to share their stories of reaching the absolute highs of elite sport, and the devastating falls that followed. They open up about the crushing realities of elite sports culture, how the relentless pressure to succeed turned into destructive habits, drug abuse and ultimately time in prison.  From hitting rock bottom to advocating in today's sporting clubs, this conversation looks at regret and life after the spotlight.
