and they're not about that you actually don't feel that they have the support of the simul they look at me when i say. i knew what. michael rasmussen is a mountain biking champion king of the mountains of the two thousand and five two thousand and six two hundred fronts he builds a meteoric sports korea and became one of the world's most famous cyclists. i think many people a wants to keep the illusion alive. and. i'm sorry if i have to break the news that. 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 ankle sports career is over that he's ready to talk openly about the methods he employed

to become a champion i was taking performance enhancing drugs over a total period of twelve years in my aim was to be the best athlete i could possibly be in all of to win. the toughest sport competition in the world. and for me in order to do that. i it was necessary also true. 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 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 it 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 even. 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 in hans straight away. 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 highest level because. it causes weight loss. and which is where important when you're a cyclist 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 thousand nine hundred eighty 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 would 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 a turnover of tens of millions of dollars there's barely a major international competition the passes without a doping scandal at 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 their friend if we really believe that that you

know the greatest threat to sport is doping. and of wonders to be strengthened in its rule critters funding is needed. current shakti million budget we're going to ask you one question you surely. think 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 writing it was very common and there were there were many great athletes i was in the team with a nice man show if i was in the team but michael and a lot of all the big names. and for them it was not an off 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 ride out. instead of looking at the whole the whole structure. it happened when. they went off the lance armstrong it 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 what's more he conquered the sporting world after beating an incurable disease and making a remarkable comeback but adulation soured in may twentieth when a former teammate of armstrong's testified he'd seen him taking prohibited drugs on many occasions launce 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 fancypants hackers website extended its greetings to the world it announced that it stands for fan play and clean sport one of his motto incidentally is the same. said they attacked the water site and was shocked by what it had seen it started with american in pick champions because some of their victories appeared dubious. hiking is illegal but should. 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 impregnable fortress this dr was illegally obtained from a real twenty sixteen olympic games the current. time was the broader system. above all want to remain confident in its systems and can change or shitty the security of us treat dr extremely she actually some of my house with this doesn't exist of course then it is that into the cost of what in the in the senate probably is just a post that said bill and that is it doesn't that i need to communicate that i do w. you must know just getting to and yet it is not so. that you can just set the new profit if you can get on with the friendship by the way it is nice of them way to buy you though my opinion my bud the business of done with dolly at the polls. and

there it 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 through running the team we developed or called the national standards to you really is an international star that has been. consultation around the world and everybody agrees this is we should be. when people are sick they. have been vacationing there needs to be a system where they can be given this privatization but there has to be strict measurements. yeah you can easily test for 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 right that you

having tendonitis in your left knee and then. basically giving you. a free pass to use the royce 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 for instances of banned substances but she was not suspended from the competition after the fancy bears hackers exposed the queen she took to twitter 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. he 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 milligram. 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 putin 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 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 for to long with victories with millions in prize money something worth fighting for it's 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 shining a light on this it's a little bit like wiki leaks. it was only things to the hackers. 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.

altie we have a great team we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and your bets have been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that much qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will come on that story for us three. thousand the joke was only here i called russia. i fly

strike. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good here's what people have been saying about redacted in the night the sixty just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of marty americans do the same we are apparently better than two thousand and six and see people you have never heard of love back to the night my president of the world bank. on the right me seriously send us an e-mail. everybody i'm stephen ball. task hollywood guy will suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and i heard the news this is my buddy max famous financial guru and we're just a little bit different on the day when compiling the line no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the brood have some fun every day

americans know. comic books we start to bridge the gap this is the great american people which. of course. want to transformed itself from a humble and peace center into in the. able to call the shots and impose conditions not only on us leads but also on the i who see which actually created the agency that said water has lost the war against doping more than once but it did myths that reluctantly come with reservations. against doping and we.

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 cannot get worst. always needs to prove it's capable of beating the monster the question is who will beat them on stuff the decision is always made behind the scenes. that's just. you. know i think. we're. not going to be a bit careful but. year after year the winners podiums in major competitions are

graced by norwegian representatives as the publication discovered seventy percent of norwegian olympic medals since one thousand nine hundred ninety two have been won by us magics. to get upset about this not old enough to get out of the battle and supposedly. reduce the percentage . what would be discussed much. but they say my name has. for. the obvious reasons competing asked leitz don't want to talk about it not today on big you can do it tomorrow in the me so i'm very disappointed that it is not possible. for a girl told his story to me the opposite. of. the famous know 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 a prescription medicine fast. what is with with him being a member of the best male skier in the world is that he was diagnosed with us mouth a child he is he has found 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. last moments and in a very unusual way where he used a machine i was almost ten times where we believe in it 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 sun

be officially i'm with waters authorization took a drug called for which gives an adrenaline rush so in base case isn't the only one kind of the evacuees so here is my magic or. siri hale is a two times junior ski racing grown 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 ventilation and i just tried that. training and i felt this was awkward to use it because i didn't have a smile stopped it and i think i didn't really think more about this i am not very fond of. drugs i'm not fond of the norwegians who are used 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 that's the life that we are in and 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 a there are going to be investigations so i think the mandate for that should be enough to work one particular country itself. and living there and nations outside who even have. a history of i love to hate so many by now but you were just just multiplied the story of the story that i see you know my problem adoption go down this was. going to see in the switch through you know wishing you just missed don't know me probably i'm meticulousness

nice to start on that thank you i mean. get a minute kenya your mobile food nearby 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 a really good start of what i'm just telling me what i see is the best and then you got the new proceeding is evil or thanks to the school can you tell she's too much scope to be looking to the right of us more to help us. if you get out to just because it really is a suicide say now with the win you lose this most of us probably limited to sign in . the history of anti doping campaigns falls into two periods before twenty fourteen and after a few months after russia's triumphs of the sochi olympics waters zeroed in on a monster and declared war on it and it wasn't just one athlete like lance armstrong but an entire country russia was the first thing i should say is because you are actually us and the country is a big i was for it every day every successful country so you would be nice

if i could actually successfully you had dozens of very good that so that is why the shock if i see the waves are big here but you have no choice swallow there it is this. the head of the moscow anti doping laboratory grigori rajan cove was the first one in the firing line queues to. oh we're going to cut short our program on doping in sport you can watch it online we will show it later it's because the russian president is about to address a gathering of social volunteers at a packed arena in moscow let's listen. to all the people to bring to the community to the town and use them to their home country. spare their forces for it's this is a very lofty and noble motivation behind your action that's there are millions

of years of volunteers across russia they share the responsibility for russia's future russia's famous also. have said there are many good people in russia and i'm sure of this quote fully applies to all of you see that there. has always been the case throughout the centuries. which seem you don't see. see ready to service your nation and has been part of our d.n.a. part of the d.n.a. of russians shop volunteers have always stood up for their homeland needs we just heard some memories for over two and i remember that my father. had protection during world war two but he

waved to protection and volunteered to go to the front line in one nine hundred forty one we're all remembering the nurses we remember. that who toiled. in the countryside those who work behind. the construction projects those who donated money for charity to churches that noble cause has united people from all walks of life and professions to. do good which there are many areas where the warmth of the hearts it's need to volunteer work in hospitals and other social institutions that help to find a missing people. help people who have suffered from emergencies but they also protect our historical monuments. you should find the remains of

fallen soldiers and try to find their names. the many and many examples like this and their number is growing every year i'm certain one. million ones efforts like this. help to contribute to besser environment in our society as a whole all of you. i was. and that means. that we can do what's happened in we. get out of that announced two thousand eighty three year old mother and she was just nine years. i was saying to the crowd is chanting thank you. thank you. it
