Doping for Gold (http://video.pbs.org/video/1239877248)

And more importantly, it is about humanity. If you haven't watched this, it is worth your time imho.

Yes, it is disappointing. PBS still reports this though. Goldman Sachs Blamed for Deceiving Customers (http://www.pbs.org/nbr/site/onair/transcripts/goldman_sachs_blamed_in_deception_110414/)

Looks very interesting...I remember those Olympics vividly. Yes, good for killing the boredom on the trainer.

The film also received a Emmy nomination for Outstanding Science, Technology and Nature Programming.

The picture is much bigger than just the science part of it. Enjoy it and cry...

Most women's non-endurance track and field world records still stand from the 1980's:

Saw this PBS show some time ago.

State sanctioned abuses against humanity was all too common on the other side of the iron curtain. The Doping for Gold show is worth watching for many reason's, especially for the younger generation.

Doping in the west is about "green" not gold.
