No link since its on HBO, but I bet if you look hard enough you will find it. He did a whole segment on doping. Lots of runners mentioned and made fun of. The last skit was gold.

It's usually on youtube, if it was the main feature of the episode.
Any more details? A popular show talking about doping could go a lot of different ways: health/fitness doping, legalities or prescription/trafficking laws, pharmaceutical revenue, IOC history, IOC policies, any sports' federation history or policies...
It's on YouTube now
Five out of five stars.
That was good.
Thanks for sharing.
John Oliver does a really great job.
Excellent.
Sad but true.
Really excellent piece. Have to feel for Montaño. It was tough to watch her watching footage of a convicted doper passing her in the Olympics and in the World Champs.
Also the new and improved inspirational athlete video was great at the end.
On the LastWeekTonight YouTube page. I watch their feature every Monday morning.

Maybe Montano should have ran faster.

I agree, but I mean...
I hate to say it but...
She has so much talent, and so much potential, if she didn't blast out from the front every race, I think she would've beaten some of those dopers.
There are definitely some clean athletes that are able to compete on the world stage, and she is one, but she will never medal like those clean athletes because of her race strategy.
1000% awesome.

Meant to say 0:36 to 0:42
That was very good.
He didn't even mention Diack taking bribes...that should have been the coup de grace

Well, there's so much corruption you have to narrow the focus to get the point across.
Mentioning FIFA as looking good was hilarious. I don't think his writers/he realizes FIFA is an IOC federation.
https://www.olympic.org/international-association-football-federationI'm glad to see the institutional corruption story finally hitting a wider audience.
Great job by Mr. Oliver and his writers.
John Oliver is not funny and not insightful.
Yea. They neglected to tell you that Montano is a front runner who always gets passed in the last 150 when she loses. Easy to paint her in a sympathetic light when it's the dopers beating her.
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
