Dr George Lee returns to discuss the latest medical news. Expect deep insights delivered with generous humour.

The International Olympic Committee distributed 450,000 condoms to athletes competing in this year's Rio Summer Games. That's three times more than what was distributed at the 2012 London Games. But what about the claim that sex before a competition reduces the players' performance? The long-held belief that somehow sex and sports shouldn't mix stems back to the ancient Greeks, who founded the Olympics.
