***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*** The full story behind Oscar award-winning Icarus 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.
