Bryan Fogel - Director of "ICARUS" on Netflix

from Inside Out with Paul Mecurio · host Paul Mecurio

"ICARUS" is an amazing documentary about the pervasive doping that takes place in sports world wide. In this truly audacious documentary Fogel (an amateur bike racer) would dope himself, observe the changes in his performance, and see if he could evade detection. In doing so, he was connected to a 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. When the truth is more complex than imagined, and accusations of illegalities run to Russia's highest chains of command, the two realize they hold the power to reveal the biggest international sports scandal in living memory. This is really two stories in one!
