Description
The explosive story of the scientist who ran the biggest doping programme in history. As seen in the Netflix Oscar-winner Icarus ***Winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, 2020 – the inside story of the Russian doping programme by the man behind it all*** One of the Financial Times ‘s ‘Fifty people who shaped the decade’ ‘The biggest sports scandal the world has ever seen’ In 2015, Russia’s Anti-Doping Centre was suspended by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) following revelations of an elaborate state-sponsored doping programme at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Involving a nearly undetectable steroid delivery system known as ‘Duchesse cocktail’, tampering and switching of urine samples, and a complex state-sanctioned cover-up, the programme was masterminded by Grigory Rodchenkov. The Rodchenkov Affair tells the full, unadulterated story that was first glimpsed in Bryan Fogel’s award-winning documentary and still continues to captivate and shock the world. Charting the author’s childhood growing up under the Iron Curtain, his first encounter with doping as a 22-year-old student athlete at Moscow State University, and his subsequent career working for the Soviet Olympic Committee, this breathtakingly candid journey reveals a rigged system of flawed individuals, brazen deceit and impossible moral choices. —- ISBN: 9780753553350 | ISBN10: 075355335X | ISBN-13: 978-0753553350
