Paralympic travel, tackling chuggers and banned sports supplements

You and Yours

Available for over a year

It's been linked to doping offences by Olympians and Paralympians - now a popular sports supplement has been banned in the UK. New warnings about travelling during the Paralympics. We followed the advice about the Olympic travel chaos that never was, so will we be as willing to work from home, walk or cycle during the Paralympics? Plus, Nottingham was the first place in the UK to introduce a workplace parking levy. We examine how it's faired during its first six months. And we're hoping to speak to the head of the International Paralympic Committee, Sir Philip Craven, about why he doesn't want us to describe Paralympians as disabled. Producer: Joe Kent Presenter: Peter White.
