This is your chance to ask the questions…

Award-winning Irish journalist, David Walsh, will be joining JOE on Tuesday 13 October at 2.30pm for an exclusive Twitter Q&A and we want you to get involved with questions of your own.

The journalist, who is Chief Sports Writer at The Sunday Times, is in Ireland to celebrate the release of The Program, a new film based on his 2012 book, Seven Deadly Sins: My Pursuit Of Lance Armstrong.

Seven Deadly Sins

Walsh, who is referred to as “Little Troll” by the controversial former professional cyclist, was one of the journalists who led the way in exposing the systematic doping within the sport of cycling, in particular the US Postal Team and its leader, Lance Armstrong.

Starring the brilliant Ben Foster as Armstrong, The Program also stars Irish actor Chris O’Dowd as Walsh himself, following the journalist as he hunts for the crucial evidence he needs to expose Armstrong.
