Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
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.

A must read for those that seek the truth
I was blown away at Dr Rodchenkov's candidness, obvious intelligence and gentle introspective thoughts with everything that has happened in his life and work to lead him to where he is now - mind blowing. What a courageous being.
