Eleanor Oldroyd and guests Toby Roland-Jones, Kadeena Cox, Fran Halsall and Martyn Rooney discuss the fallout from Ben Stokes' suspension, burnout, and political protest in sport.

Eleanor Oldroyd and a panel of top athletes tackle the big issues in sport this week. Following the ECB suspensions of Ben Stokes and Alex Hales after an alleged incident in Bristol, how important is it that athletes maintain discipline outside of sport?

Earlier this week, England and Saracens number eight Billy Vunipola told the 5 live Rugby podcast that he would take a pay cut and play less to prevent burnout. How much of an issue is this for sports stars and what can be done about it?

Plus, should contact sports be played in primary schools and is sport the right arena for political protest?

Joining Eleanor to discuss these and more are: England and Middlesex bowler Toby Roland-Jones, Paralympic athletics and cycling champion, Kadeena Cox, world champion swimmer Fran Halsall and British athletics star Martyn Rooney.
