Rio Olympics Recap, Cheating in the Olympics, Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Usain Bolt, Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, and Lansing Lugnuts.

On today's "Current Sports with Al Martin" the Rio Olympics are in full heat now, with some of the fan-favorite gymnastic, track and basketball events having transpired over the weekend. So with all of the commotion, what has Al and engineer Isaac Constans not totally on the wagon? The two discuss the best and worst so far, including all of the news following the biggest. And roping in the local feel, Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, the voice of the Lansing Lugnuts, gives his take and talks everything Luggies from apparel to performance. Al then fields a few calls before signing off for this Monday.
