In summary: 1) A majority of Olympic athletes and professionals in all major sports are using performance enhancing drugs. 2) Testing and other doping controls are a waste of time and money, and are, in fact, used to cover up doping---not just in Russia. 3) Drugs won't make a good athlete into an elite athlete, but drugs can make a super elite athlete into an inhuman machine.
Just watched this now.
Very good documentary.
Obviously not surprised about the State run program. Interesting to see how it was run.
I was however surprised at Fogel's performance with PEDs. He tested better (more watts generated), with PEDs, but it did not translate to better performance. I heard something similar before. Some bike hack was taking PEDs (during races) and was just a hack anyway.
