Three Australians are members of a professional cycling team whose riders take a banned substance each and every race.
Quite often the riders inject themselves mid-race in order to stay competitive and functional.
The team are proud of the message they send, and they?re encouraging the next generation to follow their lead.
Before imaginations run too wild, this is not the story of a doping scandal. Far from it.
Instead, it?s a rare feel-good story in a sport that has endured many years of doping controversies.
Team Novo Nordisk is an outfit made up entirely of type 1 diabetics.
