Winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, 2020 - the inside story of the Russian doping programme by the man behind it all
\nOne of the Financial Times\'s \'Fifty people who shaped the decade\'
\n\'The biggest sports scandal the world has ever seen\'
\nIn 2015, Russia\'s Anti-Doping Centre was suspended by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) following revelations of an elaborate state-sponsored doping programme at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Involving a nearly undetectable steroid delivery system known as \'Duchesse cocktail\', tampering and switching of urine samples, and a complex state-sanctioned cover-up, the programme was masterminded by Grigory Rodchenkov.
\nThe Rodchenkov Affair tells the full, unadulterated story that was first glimpsed in Bryan Fogel\'s award-winning documentary and still continues to captivate and shock the world. Charting the author\'s childhood growing up under the Iron Curtain, his first encounter with doping as a 22-year-old student athlete at Moscow State University, and his subsequent career working for the Soviet Olympic Committee, this breathtakingly candid journey reveals a rigged system of flawed individuals, brazen deceit and impossible moral choices.
