BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Paralympic travel, tackling chuggers and banned sports supplements

New rules to protect us from 'chuggers', and how should we describe Paralympians?

A popular sports supplement has been banned in the UK after being linked to doping offences by Olympians and Paralympians. Consumer news with Peter White.

It's been linked to doping offences by Olympians and Paralympians - now a popular sports supplement has been banned in the UK. 

New warnings about travelling during the Paralympics. We followed the advice about the Olympic travel chaos that never was, so will we be as willing to work from home, walk or cycle during the Paralympics?

Plus, Nottingham was the first place in the UK to introduce a workplace parking levy. We examine how it's faired during its first six months. 

And we're hoping to speak to the head of the International Paralympic Committee, Sir Philip Craven, about why he doesn't want us to describe Paralympians as disabled.

Producer: Joe Kent 
Presenter: Peter White.
