While investigating the furtive world of illegal doping in sports, director Bryan Fogel connects with renegade Russian scientist Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov—a pillar of his country’s “anti-doping” program. Over dozens of Skype calls, urine samples, and badly administered hormone injections, Fogel and Rodchenkov grow closer despite shocking allegations that place Rodchenkov at the center of Russia’s state-sponsored Olympic doping program.

Nonureva Really Surprised!
Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
grahamvandyke 'The perfect storm' is a phrase that encapsulates this entire endeavor. A cyclist with the simple goal of seeing if he could beat performance enhancing drugs testing stumbles across the Russian Edward Snowden. And I do mean stumble. What was intended to have been a fun, interesting niche documentary turned itself into a world-wide scandal that accidentally let us into the world of deception on a national level. The ramifications confirm what most people knew but couldn't substantiate. And this is not an attack on Russia. This is a small piece of a world-wide puzzle in which high level agencies and authorities deceive the world.I would liken this to the Jason Bourne series if it was taking place in the real world, just without the violence and far more terrifying implications. This is no ordinary documentary. I was absolutely riveted and shook to my core by the end.An absolute must watch.
vivaciouscontent Absolutely mind blowing film. A documentary that shatters your sense of reality with nothing but the truth that strikes to the core.
filups While watching the movie, it's very unclear what Bryan Fogel is trying to accomplish. Why does he decide to take PEDs? What's the ultimate goal? Where is the movie actually headed? Why would Grigory want to have anything to do with Fogel, let alone coach him and end up trusting him with his safety and security? But if you can put all that aside, the information is stunning and will change the way you look at sports. Well worth a watch!
sportofthes Just one more piece of anti Russian propaganda, justifying the western politicization of the Olympics, just as the west politicized the Olympics the last time they ramped up the cold war in the '80's. And will do their best to do during the coming World Cup.Of course the directors other movie is called "Jewtopia". lol. And he is doing his bit achieve this for the tribe by making war on their present target, Russia.
