Description
An extraordinary insider account of the state-sponsored doping operation that rocked international sport, told by the scientist who helped design and administer it. From growing up behind the Iron Curtain to working within the Soviet and Russian sports systems, the author traces his journey through a culture where performance, patriotism, and political power became dangerously intertwined. He reveals how sophisticated drug regimens, covert sample exchanges, and institutional deception were used to manipulate Olympic results—while confronting the fear, ambition, and moral compromises that sustained the scheme. Candid and urgent, this memoir offers a gripping examination of corruption, whistleblowing, and the human cost of exposing a system built to win at any price.
