SportsPro editor at large Eoin Connolly is joined by New York Times sports news correspondent Tariq Panja to discuss an industry week dominated again by murky soccer business, with Der Spiegel's Football Leaks reports to the fore. 

Items on the agenda include the prospect of a European Super League, Gianni Infantino's role in efforts by Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City to circumvent Financial Fair Play laws, and just how shocked fans will actually be to find out how the sausages are made. There's also time to reflect on governance issues elsewhere, including a contentious presidential race in boxing's AIBA and ongoing debates around sport and Saudi Arabia, and a brief note of optimism.

Meanwhile Press Association chief sports reporter and SportsPro columnist Matt Slater is on hand to explain the latest goings-on in the world of anti-doping, as the Russian saga drags on to draw USADA into conflict with global body WADA.
