10:32 pm
because i didn't. know it was going on but the new delhi couple was nervous about that city but outside the private you were just going to stick together. leaders of the past the super bowl is just like that think you know the shells of the double plus more of the stick by you did which i'm no good look at me to please the line from the this was the one that i waiting i see what it is coming down at the bar that you actually don't feel that they have to view the sport to simulate they look at me. and you go with a. michael rasmussen is a mountain biking champion king of the mountains of the two thousand and five two thousand and six two difference he builds a meteoric sports korea and became one of the world's most famous cyclists. i think many people a want to keep the illusion alive. and. i'm sorry if i have to break the news that
10:33 pm
. i do not believe in illusions. and. i think that this sport in general has lost its virginity long time ago. barely known at the outset of his career it took eight years to become a cycling icon today rasmussen's over forty years old it's only now after his sports career is over that he's ready to talk openly about the methods he employed to become a champion i was taking foreman hansing drops over a total period of twelve years in my aim was to be the best athlete i could possibly be in order to win the toughest sports competition in the world. and for me in order to do that. it was necessary also to. to push the rules and break the rules. they mean to be the best is a praiseworthy ambition. although in sports just as in any other battle there's
10:34 pm
always a temptation to gain victory by any means. at the one thousand nine hundred four lympics and some lewis an american thomas hicks took a then popular cocktail of brandy laced with strychnine and ran in the marathon. after a while he fainted his coach gave him more dope takes continued eventually coming first although a team of doctors barely managed to revive him at the finishing line but still he got his gold medal. since then the pharmaceutical industry has made giant strides it does develop drugs designed for prolonged use the harm to athletes health can't be detected immediately but their performances enhanced straightaway. corticosteroids has a lot of benefits in terms of treating injuries but it also has a very very pleasant side effect if you are an athlete that wants to perform at the
10:35 pm
highest level because. it causes weight loss. and which is very important when you're cycling. the fact that athletes were attaining amazing results is not what attracted attention to doping. what couldn't be ignored was the death toll of athletes who died in their prime. between one nine hundred seventy five and one nine hundred eighty over two hundred doping linked deaths were registered in various sports around the world. the i.o.c. had to respond although it was rather tardy. it wasn't until nine hundred ninety nine that the world anti-doping agency was created. today wada updates its prohibited substances list annually pharmaceutical companies and then turn promote their products within this list lobbyist's vie to shut out the competition. this is a market with
10:36 pm
a turnover of tens of millions of dollars there's barely a major international competition that passes without a doping scandal but the same time the anti doping system itself is mushrooms and is constantly in need of financial injections again we need a massive financial infusion into this endevor if we really believe that you know the greatest threat to sport is doping. and of wonders to be strengthened in its rule creatures funding is needed the agency current fifty million budget we're going to ask one question. here in. the world anti doping agency rejects any criticism it's focused on promoting its public image trying to convince the world it's indispensable to do provides a foundation for the world of sports. i know that within the team where i was
10:37 pm
writing it was very common and there were there were many great athletes i was in a team with a nice man show us in the team. and a lot of all the big names. and for them it was not an offer to perform at the highest level without using the off elements and some drops. in cycling it has happened many times that we take one single rider out. instead of looking at the whole the whole structure. happened when. they went off the lance armstrong there was one rider they went after. to get busting lance armstrong boosted was his authority lance was a god of sports in the eyes of many small he conquered the sporting world after beating an incurable disease and making a remarkable comeback but adulation soured in may twenty level when
10:38 pm
a former teammate of armstrong's testified he'd seen him taking prohibited drugs on many occasions lance was stripped of all his awards. visions were satisfied. that doping contradicts the principle of fair play says waters code however there's a paradox the anti doping rules allow doping in certain cases. but only by athletes to whom water has given permission this information is top secret to use water's words it's confidential. the fancy banners hacker's website extended its greetings to the world it announced that it stands for fan play and clean sport wide as moto incidentally is the same. said they attacked the water site and was shocked by what it did seen it started with american and in pick champions because some of their victories appeared dubious. hiking is illegal but should.
10:39 pm
reveal. sensible people about medical records i don't have to do any sympathy for that i don't think it's a good thing fancy bears published five lists of past leads with positive doping tests over two hundred u.s. post men and women had obtained permission to use banned drugs for therapeutic purposes all data collected on athletes is stored in the adams electronic system this system had been wada's impregnable fortress this dr was illegally obtained from a real twenty sixteen olympic games the current. time was the broader system compromised above all want to remain confident in its systems and continue city the security of us treat dr extremely she actually some of my house with this
10:40 pm
dozens of threats of those things that is let into the congress to what in the in the senate probably yes the post that said bill and you know this and they don't need to communicate that even to w. you must know just getting through and yelling something does not. mean that you can say certain you profit if you can get on with the friendship of the rain because that is so dumb way to buy you know my opinion my bud the best also done with dolly at the polls. that is that's because now you. just listed addition there because now you. are used to work twelve years. twelve years i was in charge of. developing the cold to run the team we developed or called the national standards to you really is an international star that has been for all consultation around the world and everybody agreed this this should be. when people are sick they. have to be
10:41 pm
patient that needs to be a system where they can be given this provocation but there has to be strict measurements. yeah you can easily test the substance but you have a permit to use it and basically it's just a matter of inventing an injury. so you know your team doctor would write that you're having tendonitis in your left knee and then. basically giving you. a free pass to use the course to reuters during the tour de france for example the queen of artistic gymnastics four time olympic champion nineteen year old simone biles won five medals four of which were gold in the rio olympics tests taken just before the games showed four instances of banned substances but she was not suspended from the competition after the fancy bears hackers exposed the queen she took to twitter
10:42 pm
to defend herself i have aged and i have taken medicine for it since i was a kid please no i believe in clean sport i have always followed the rules and will continue to do so a.d.h. d. is one of the most widespread disorders children of diagnosed with what is it really an illness a child on able to keep still and always being reprimanded for it at school is a familiar story the amphetamine from one twenty milligrams. pill is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and has a favorable influence on the nervous system it calms you down many gymnasts look very nervous before the start by contrast simone biles is a model of focus and concentration. therapist puter exemptions i think has to be allowed because there are medical conditions but it needs to be transparent it can't be hidden that somebody is taking these medications which actually can calm the nerves which is the real issue competitions so it needs to be
10:43 pm
transparent right now it's not transparent. tennis has always been considered the cleanest sport one case of doping detected in a thousand tests this is the official data according to anonymous pose sixty five percent of tennis players take banned drugs among them the williams sisters serena and venus they have muscular and powerful bodies seemingly created by nature itself but during the last five years they have had sixteen t u e s long with victories with millions in prize money something worth fighting for their first time someone right now it's the u.s. anti-doping agency that approves the t.u.e. is and and it's not disclosed it's not transparent so in a way fancy bears the hacking group. they did a service by signing a light on this it's
10:44 pm
a little bit like wiki leaks. it was only things to the hackers. and the extensive use of t u e's if sports fans around the world could look on the internet to see who had been tested by wada offices who had fallen foul and who had been authorized by wada to use t u e's there would be no need for hakas.
10:45 pm
so. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president interim. or some one of the reps. have to do like to be prosperous what will befall that spectrum or can people get the biggest of all was in the waters of our. first city. hey everybody i'm stephen bob. taft hollywood guy you know suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v. news this is my buddy max famous financial guru where just a little bit different. with all the drama happening in our country i'm hitting the road to have some fun every day americans. and hopefully start to
10:46 pm
bridge the gap this is the great american people. want transformed itself from a humble anti dopey center into in the via thumb able to coalition wants to impose conditions not only on astley's but also on the i.o.c. which actually created the agency that said water has lost the war against doping more than once but it admits that reluctantly and with reservations. against doping is and we need i am optimistic for two reasons basically the first one is that if you look at it carefully we can find some satisfactions we can find some victories in the fight against doping so yes there are the second point is it
10:47 pm
cannot get worst. the agency always needs to prove it's capable of beating them on stuff the question is who will beat them on stuff the decision is always made behind the scenes. that's just. your. turn but no i think. we. i want them back. not going to be very careful but. year after year the winners podiums in major competitions are graced by norwegian representatives as the v.g. publication discovered seventy percent of norwegian olympic medals since one thousand nine hundred ninety two have been won by us magics.
10:48 pm
to doubts about us was not old enough to get out of. the pros by. reduced or your toes asked what the percentage. was nielsen your study says numbers are true and this is just my scheme or would be i think as much can you give this anybody nothing left for. the obvious reasons competing athletes don't want to talk about it today i think you can do it to morrow in the mix or we're being told that it is not possible. to reach a media after. the famous no we march in sunday is also one who enjoys therapeutic exemption the king of the mountain is a two time winner of the world cup in the overall standing a world champion in the team relay on two occasions and twice on a limb pick medalist while achieving all this he was taking
10:49 pm
a prescription medicine for a smart. what is with. the best male skier in the world is that he was diagnosed with the child he has he has a condition and therefore in order to be able to compete he needs asthma medicine what happened with. the norwegian doctor charles to administer administer. best moments and in a very unusual way where he used a machine i was almost ten times well. he was suspended from competitions for two months but in the summer months not winter ones although he could have been suspended for four years according to the wada rule book martin sunday officially i'm with waters authorization took a drug called sol butanol which gives an adrenaline rush case isn't the only one kind of the evacuees. so here is my magic or.
10:50 pm
siri hale is a two times junior ski racing world champion she was on the norwegian national team . i felt it was something wrong even hearing my throw so i went to the doctor and i blew out in the machine you know and he saw that there was irritation and then he said there is irritation here so i think you should use ventolin and i just tried that. training and i felt this was awkward to use it because i didn't have a smile stuck to it and i think didn't really think more about this i am not very fond of. drugs i'm not fond of the norwegians who use made the comments that even though it's legal it is given to people i believe shouldn't get it because we are in the gray area and that's the life that we are in
10:51 pm
i want it to be fair play. soon enough to syria stop taking me as my drug she had to leave the team. everybody should be tested and. there should be there are going to be investigations so i think the mandate for that should be enough to board one particular country itself. and living there and nations outside who even have. a history of cases by now but you were just just multiplied the story of the story not i she would have a problem adoption go down this wish to. see in this wish to know wishing you just missed don't know me problem meticulousness no i'm still stunned thank you i mean. get a minute kenya your movement by generic and you watch it but you just giftedness but it's me and i spoke with a vocal that's used to release any particular shutting it all up vocal that just because it's a slow an evolution it's not
10:52 pm
a really good start of what i'm just telling me what i see is first and then you've got the new proceeding is evil or the school can you tell she's too much comfortably looking to the right of us muslim population. if you don't do this because it really is a suicide say now at the when you lose this last of us probably diminish it to some innocent little bits of the history of anti doping campaigns falls into two periods before twenty fourteen and a few months after russia's triumphs of the sochi olympics zeroed in on a monster and declared war on it and it wasn't just one astley like lance armstrong but an entire country russia. the first thing i should say is because you are actually is and the country is a big pile of food every night every successful country so you would be mad if i exactly successful you had dozens of very good that so that is why the shop if i see the waves are big here but you have no choice swallow the
10:53 pm
people it is this bit they are the head of the most anti doping aboard trade grigori roche in cove was the first one in the firing line queues dim of destroying over fourteen hundred. a few days prior to testing. moved to the usa where he admitted to abusing his position the main suspect to become what is number one in forma water was the one that demanded his dismissal from the moscow laboratory. that was water that said he couldn't be believed in the first commission report apparently the evidence says that there were there was some extortion or bribery going on he was being paid to change the test results a lot of people say well he's not trustworthy he's a criminal. he's not in certain respects why did we believe him well there's really two fundamental reasons first. he
10:54 pm
was at risk if he didn't tell the truth to my myself and members of my team but he loses visa and he be deported. and that's the view to draw the conclusions from what would happen there. i think if those reports are related to some other country they would have with us to go to that country but they did so i don't think russia is being picked on and i didn't personally pick on russia i was given a mandate and i followed the mandate sorry mr fair has to get it right thank you the lawyer declared that his principal goal was fighting the system fighting the monster who had been exposed by a hole in the wall of the sochi testing lab richard mclaren has been painting a vivid picture of this for the past two years was the edge of the building and the next building in the layout would be the command center for the f.s.b. and they were in the storage locker there and they were seen by dr roger shank up
10:55 pm
according to rajan calls testimony during the olympics the home was used to swap year in samples with the aid of the mighty f.s.b. intelligence service. was the only one who saw the secret device used to open up athletes don't written samples and swap them for clean ones. the former british cyclist dan stevens has publicly tossed down the gauntlet and accused of thinking in cold war terms. i think the real reason. industry exists these fall for protected after it's. unfair i think. and the industry. is by stalled politics.
10:56 pm
for political reasons stevens has been attempting. exposed british doctor. one hundred fifty british athletes have received banned drugs at his private clinic but where are these one hundred fifty athletes now and why didn't want to hold an investigation so how can industry is the charge it's absurd it's full of contradictions for there to focus a it's not trying to spare and lie with lies one of money comes from work i used. for spend spend all wild and it's a got. free from the stall why that was you were going to put me in a rock room and. michelle thought against me who is that sexiest thing is that the money gang is with us the. movie life we put you bite someone all the anti doping organizations of course receiving. many lots of foundings from their countries as always what we hear is that now we're getting very close to finding the perfect
10:57 pm
solution for this but we're not quite there yet. we need more money right. now and i think at the end of the day. it will never be solved. just disperses just threw it on the credit suspects may have caught them at the but there are those that think that those up a genius like you still idiots bank must admit that much too little frost was just .
10:58 pm
here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us is actually the long awesome the only show i go out of my way to you know we wanted to really packed a punch. yampa is the john oliver of march the americans do the same we are apparently better than that and see people you've never heard of love to the night president of the world bank. and the woman that. sent us an e-mail. the wealth concentration the bureaucratic concentration is sapping the economic
10:59 pm
vitality from this entrepreneurial nation called america and the machinations and the costs associated their way of keeping the prison population in place are draining money away from all aspects of society and you've got the problems that you would normally associate with the ghetto like people nodding out in the middle of the day in the middle of the state. law. that was.
