Synopsis

While investigating the furtive world of illegal doping in sports, director Bryan Fogel connects with renegade Russian scientist Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov—a pillar of his country’s “anti-doping” program. Over dozens of Skype calls, urine samples, and badly administered hormone injections, Fogel and Rodchenkov grow closer despite shocking allegations that place Rodchenkov at the center of Russia’s state-sponsored Olympic doping program.

Reviews

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
crigby-37057 As someone that studies exercise science and enjoys sports this documentary is fantastic! I complete eye opener in to the world of doping and corruption at the highest level!
vivaciouscontent Absolutely mind blowing film. A documentary that shatters your sense of reality with nothing but the truth that strikes to the core.
filups While watching the movie, it's very unclear what Bryan Fogel is trying to accomplish. Why does he decide to take PEDs? What's the ultimate goal? Where is the movie actually headed? Why would Grigory want to have anything to do with Fogel, let alone coach him and end up trusting him with his safety and security? But if you can put all that aside, the information is stunning and will change the way you look at sports. Well worth a watch!
LynneParks Well this is two hours of my life I will not get back. Also, another 15 minutes I will not get back after writing this review to warn other unsuspecting docuphiles out there. This is a terrible, bumbling, mess of a documentary. Every Doc has a bias and some are better at hiding those biases than others. Icarus charges ahead, intelligence left behind in the dust. The film NEVER mounts an argument or even attempts to show the bigger picture. Russia is bad. The USA stops bad. End of Doc. The irony is completely lost on them just how many times U.S athletes have been found guilty of doping. Lance Armstrong is mentioned in passing, seriously. Watch another film an save your brain cells. DO NOT WATCH!
