***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.
