Not sure what this means for other time zones in Canada.
It's a 1 hour version of the movie (US version is 1.5+)

In Canada, CBC it will be @9:00 pm in every time zone . 9:30 In Newfoundland
I have seen the Canadian version , I work for a Broadcaster . What was removed was the “ mean Alberto stuff” the calling someone fat segments . This had little to do with the grey area controversy . I also understand The Kara and Adam introducing the Bad doctor to Alberto , was a no comment on the edit and cut out of both versions. Jenny was approached but would not comment on her relation to the bad doctor.
Another reminder: this is yet another piece that features Gladwell as someone we need to hear from despite there being experts who could shed far more light on the Salazar story. I know it'll be hard to take for many on this site, but even the brojos - also featured (at least one of them) - aren't great at discussing doping-related stories; they toe the WADA line rather than thinking critically.
It's also a piece that features pretty much only men, which is weird if you know the whole Salazar story (or not - you could also see it as humorous/ironic). I suppose dudes talking to other dudes about subjects they don't have much expertise in all the rage these days (e.g. Gladwell, Peterson, Rogan)
Does anyone know when/where the US version will air?
Its been out for a long time. Trying to remember where I saw it. Peacock maybe. Its really not that good.

Except Kara Goucher plays a prominent role and speaks in the film. What's he supposed to do if Mary Cain won't talk on the air?
If it is on at 9pm Eastern...it will be on an hour earlier in each time zone...so that would make it on at 6pm in British Columbia. Just searched for it and couldn't find it on anywhere
I interviewed director, writer Paul Kemp and reviewed the movie too....not going to pump my own tires beyond that though. I do enough tire pumping.
However, here is a thing from CBC Passionate Eye....

Can you still stream the longer version for free on Peacock.com ?
My only issue with this doc is that it is advertised as an investigation into Salazar and then takes a U turn into Carbon fiber shoes and cry baby Goucher. Get over the super shoes. Gettttting old

It is a CBC documentary presentation under the Series “ passionate eye” . The edit and arrangement works better in the 60 minute format ,in my opinion . If you are in Canada ,you can stream it .
He did nothing wrong except research . Shalane is the one with the dark cloud 🌧 over her head, not Salazar .
Europe run WADA does this to Salazar , but lets this go with Europe programs and there prescription drug programs ….

She was crying until her non Nike sponsons told her quick telling everyone her shoes sucked.
I watched the Canadian broadcast of it tonight and it was not really that good nor did it offer any new insight into this.

Watched the longer US version. Nothing new.
A few LR folks making appearances.
Your can tell it's been "in the can", or in the works, for a while as it mentions Kipchoge only running 2:00:25 and sidetracks a bit too long on the Vaporfly controversy.
Kara Goucher comes across as a bitter, washed-up outcast. Adam nowhere to be seen.
Malcom Gladwell is a welcome stand out - really cogent and engaging commentary. I wonder why the room behind him is empty.
After 80+ minutes, was left feeling more then ever the Salazar takedown has nothing to do with clean sport, but is clearly an agenda-driven hatchet job by USADA, whose real reasons they never dig into.
Salazar's sanction suddenly going down in the middle of Doha Worlds tells you everything. No consideration for athletes, everything about creating maximal damage and coverage.
Anyone know if this documentary will ever find its way to Netflix?
No Netflix, as rights holders are SKY (UK), Peacock (US) and CBC (Canada).... heard the shorter CBC version did good ratings.
Looks like it is streaming for free in CANADA here-

Have you watched a Canadian National track meet?
Outside of Andre Degrasse they are atrocious,
