Icarus (2017)

Filmmaker Bryan Fogel set out to make a documentary about steroid usage in athletics. Fogel, also an amateur cyclist, decides to use performance-enhancing drugs while training for Haute Route to see if he could pass an anti-doping test. Fogel's Help originated with The founder of The UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory Don Catlin. With the implications of his reputation at stake, Catlin decided his involvement with the experiment would not be a good idea. In his place Grigory Rodchenkov, the head of the US anti-doping program, helped to administer the doping system. With The Help of Rodchenkov, Fogel began the system with hormone injections and urine samples that would later be used for testing.

Fogel and Rodchenkov's relationship grew close over a short period of time. What Fogel uncovered during his experiment is that Rodchenkov Had his own system in Russia to Help American athletes using performance-enhancing drugs without being detected. News reports suddenly surfaced that Rodchenkov was a Key figura in Russia's state-sponsored doping program during The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Fearing for his Life, Rodchenkov fled to the United States with The Help of Fogel. On camera Rodchenkov testified to the scheme of swapping of American athletes' urine samples so they would go undetected. Rodchenkov's testimony became public in an extensive interview with The New York Times where he provided spreadsheets, discs, e-mails, and more incriminating evidence of Russian involvement. Concerned for his well-being, the United States Department of Justice placed Rodchenkov in protective custody.

An excellent documentary—definitely recommended.
I also suggest reading this article, which is actually how I first heard about "Icarus".

I’m not really a documentary guy, but this topic caught my eye so I gave it a watch.
It’s interesting, though it feels pretty Americanized—even if they try to play it neutral when the author goes over the reactions from the International Olympic Committee and those other heavy hitters, basically implying they're just as bad as the Russians.
The mastermind behind the whole thing is a fascinating dude, a total mad scientist.
Who knows if that guy with the mustache is even still alive, or if he just got too worn down and had a heart attack.

It’s a complete mess. Honestly, how are you even supposed to trust anyone anymore? At this point, if everyone just went around hooking up with everyone else, it would actually be more honest. ☕
