I spoke with Qatar 2022 whistleblower Abdullah Ibhais for the opening episode of our new Play the Game Podcast.
About the latest developments in his case - and how Qatar profiled journalists and managing criticism.
“Silence is sport’s worst enemy.”

DRs dokumentar om galopsporten har fået alt for lidt opmærksomhed. Den viser, at hele galopsporten er dopet, resultater fra de seneste mange år ugyldige, dyrlæger korrupte, heste groft mishandlet og rige ejere ligeglade. Det er en KÆMPE skandale! #dkpol #dkmedier
