How Olympic Sports Doping Actually Works | How Crime Works | Insider

Awesome series. Whoever has been finding these fascinating, straight talking individuals has been doing a fantastic job.

I was a runner, weight lifter, and health nut all my adult life. After 20+ years, I decided to try one cycle of testosterone to gain weight. It was unbelievable. In 6 weeks I gained at least 6 pounds of muscle mass. After two hours in the gym, I would go home just because I thought I should, not because I was tired. And the next day? Jump out of bed in the morning, do 8 hours on my feet at factory job, then hit the gym for another two hours. NEVER got tired. NEVER got sore. Everyone I knew commented on my new size within a few weeks. The drugs are crazy!

I knew a Russian doctor who came to the USA before the end of the Cold War and the people who helped him get established here had to have a serious conversation with him to explain that he couldn't simply prescribe steroids to people. He thought it was totally normal, no problem.

basically, olympic sports need to be completely redone and overhauled, like FIFA and other big sports competition who grew more and more corrupt over time. and it's all being done on the shoulders of athletes who then have to deal with extreme life complications later on in their lives only to be competitive to even get a paycheck and also, cause they blindly trust their trainers when they are very young. it's just extremely sad...

The fact that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for TMZ and WADA knew about it but still allowed them to compete in Japan tells you all you need to know about the reliability of drug testing and WADA

Insider has top notch documentaries all the time. Watching from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼 Keep them comin’

They got bloody Conti? Impressive guys

I was always amazed how some athletes acted super human and now I know why.

Watch Icarus on Netflix . 10/10 documentary

If people think that people who compete in the olympics and are WINNING events are natural then you gotta wake up lol. The natural athletes are competing for last place

The IOC is so dirty, even if they knew they would look the other way - if paid enough.

Great video, great character to hear from, a fascinating story. I remember following the Marion Jones (now Jones-Thompson) story when it happened, back when I was a kid. I remember hearing about her painful background and her "why" never really grokked for me, but it makes a lot more sense when you get the feeling from Victor Conte that the stuff was apparently everywhere and used by everyone. Since you solicited suggestions at the end: I'd like to hear from former hate-sellers. Someone who ran a troll farm, a partisan talkshow, website, magazine, social media, et cetera and made money exploiting people's eagerness to have their prejudices reinforced and mirrored.

It's ironic that I got an ad featuring an Olympic athlete...

Barry Bonds must have gotten his lawyers to get Conte to sign an NDA, because I'm impressed that in 25 minutes of discussing BALCO's history he didn't mention Bonds a single time despite being BALCO's most prominent U.S. client.

Hello producer of How Crime Works! Love this series. My favorite has been how counterfeiting US money and stealing diamonds.

sports figures still work with him and/or his "team of nutritionists" even through all of this.

"Used to be if you hit 30 home runs you were a god. Now you hit 30 home runs and your looking for a job." Jose Canseco - on the impact of performance enhancing substances in MLB.

This was Conte's addiction and he hasnt quit. He just works with newer and newer compounds and chemicals.

Barry Bonds is watching to figure out where he went wrong......

The Visa Olympics ad I got during this was... Interesting.
