{"product_id":"9780753553350","title":"The Rodchenkov Affair","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2015, Russia's Anti-Doping Centre was suspended by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) following revelations of an elaborate state-sponsored doping programme at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Involving a nearly undetectable steroid delivery system known as 'Duchesse cocktail', tampering and switching of urine samples, and a complex state-sanctioned cover-up, the programme was masterminded by Grigory Rodchenkov. The Rodchenkov Affair tells the full, unadulterated story that was first glimpsed in Bryan Fogel's award-winning documentary and still continues to captivate and shock the world. Charting the author's childhood growing up under the Iron Curtain, his first encounter with doping as a 22-year-old student athlete at Moscow State University, and his subsequent career working for the Soviet Olympic Committee, this breathtakingly candid journey reveals a rigged system of flawed individuals, brazen deceit and impossible moral choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Grigory+Rodchenkov\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eGrigory Rodchenkov\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grigory Rodchenkov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47380103364771,"sku":"9780753553350","price":380.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780753553350_fec3dd73-8afa-415c-9d79-dffe5cfd0982.jpg?v=1776495771","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780753553350","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
