"The Russian Affair" by David Walsh: The Story of the Stepanovs, as You've Never Heard It Before
In his latest book, David Walsh -- the Irish reporter who helped bring down Lance Armstrong -- tells the story of the Russian doping scandal through the eyes of whistleblowers Yuliya and Vitaly Stepanov, whose relationship was far more complicated than you could imagine. On, February 8, 2013, the couple was supposed to get divorced. Instead of heading back to the registry office that day, Vitaly drove Yuliya to the office of Alexei Melnikov, the coach of the Russian national track & field team, and secretly recorded their conversation and helped bring down the Russia's doping program. 5 stars out of 5. Let's hope this is made into a movie.
