Bryan Fogel | Icarus and Russia's Olympic Doping Scandal

When film director Bryan Fogel began exploring the world of doping in competitive sports, he found himself deep inside the Russian government’s decades-old Olympic doping program. At the 2019 Oslo Freedom Forum, he spoke about what else his Academy Award-winning documentary, Icarus, uncovered about Russia.
The Oslo Freedom Forum is a global event series presented by the Human Rights Foundation (HRF).

The best documentary I have ever seen...

[@YogaInTheLanes]

thank you for bringing tis story to the worlds attention., and thank you Gregory for making such a sacrifice - i applaud you!

[@NoaLives79]

This documentary is mind blowing, and Gregory is a charming charming man. I hope things change for the better for him and his family.

I don't know what I expected the architect of a Russian doping scam would look or act like but I certainly wasn't expecting it to be this funny & delightful man.

They will stop at nothing to cover their lies, heartbreaking that telling the truth is deadly, but then again it has been happening throughout all history. Thank God He wins in the end and all evildoers will get what they deserve.

My left ear enjoyed this

[@davidhickey8613]

*stereo has left the chat*

[@alexanderthreedee4866]

Everything is much simpler, remember in 2014 this Russian doping scandal? Well, this allowed the internal viewer to present it as another insult from the West, which increased the effect of the capture of the Crimea. And this time it will be the same, almost certainly. So this is just another tactical move of putin. Lets see it in near future

[@TheLsd76]

After seeing his documentary, I realised all I knew about sport records & champions in recent years in most sports was a lie. I imagine the other competitors are heart broken. Russia is such a fraud..

`Fogel for president!

[@JM-yn8mb]

Snowden is under the exact same circumstances for telling the truth. Both are heroes. These governments need to do their job and protect the people and not "national security"

[@carlosrubio3169]

very good video

[@TH3HY3N4]

Can you show some love for my right ear as well? Come on..

[@pfluegervidoes]

[@andyharpist2938]

In fairness this man is not a hero but systematically cheated for years at the highest level. Lied to the world.

[@M4tchitehew]

yea because you would say fuck you to Putin any day am I right?

[@dickfootjesus4727]

Oh yeah cause it’s not like it was his one way out of mental asylum that he didn’t even belong in from the beginning

[@The7yph00n]

hes a hero alright, the rule of cultural behaviour demands he does what the group belives is right, no matter if its the truth or not. same with nazi germany and the holocaust in world war 2. its psychology. its like that in any type of cultural group. we humans are social animals, rather be accepted and lying, than not be accepted whilst telling the truth.
