An investigation into the financial, political and ethical implications of performance-enhancing drugs.
Yuliya Stepanova, Russia's 800-metres champion in 2011, performed among the world's top-flight athletes for five years, while her husband Vitaly was an adviser to the director of the Russian anti-doping agency, RUSADA.
In 2014, the couple decided to go public on the systematic doping of Russian athletes, causing one of the world's biggest sporting scandals - and putting into question Russia's participation in international competition.
"Many champions are not gods, they are not even real champions," says Yuliya. "That's what disgusted me, the lies. These people are admired, but they're just liars and cheats."
