it was all kept secret and the world anti-doping agency which is supposed to be the big backstop herere countries follow the rules and appropriately sanction their athletes. that big, bad backstop that holds itself as the gold standard of anti-doping, they said, okay. and they went along with it. >> we see a parallel here. covid hits the universe and we're not supposed to ask any questions about it. how did you get this story? you entered a black vault, breaking anything about china that has the government involved. this is olympians. tell me about how you reported out this story because it really is a huge coup. >> so i think that because of the way that this was handled, and the fact that it was done in secret, and the fact that there was not a lot of transparency into it led those people who knew about it to be agitated and concerned in a way and fear that there was a coverup, and because of that, anonymous people initially started reporting this to other anti-doping agencies, to the united states anti-doping agency, to another group in switzerland, and these anonymous people were
