Watched a Documentary on Netflix yesterday called "Icarus" about a professional Cyclist that gets discouraged after Lance Armstrong is outed for using steroids then learning that all of the top athletes use steroids. He then ends up connecting with a Russian scientist who works for the Russian olympics team who were busted for Steroid use back in the 80s and have been under scrutiny ever since.
He works with the russian to do a program where he uses steroids to try and place better in this upcoming 7 day race. The race happens and doesnt go as plan, but they decide to continue and work on next year (they communicate through skype). But then the Russians end up getting busted for using steroids again and the scientist decides to leak the story to the New York times and Putin doesnt like that shit, so he goes on the run.
The story is freaking crazy and definitely a documentary worth checking out. My mind was blown how this started as one tiny thing but the cyclist ends up involved in one of the biggest sports scandals in history.
