I'm stuck in the middle of Ozark right now, but that's next on my Netflix list.

Amazing film. The end is devastating. IOC is probably FIFA all over again.

The Olympics have always been a joke anyway. Only nerds care about it.

Pretty great film considering they stumbled into all of it. The first half of the film was what it was intended to be.
How did he get out of Russia alive though
They really should have 3 samples, 1 tested there, another tested at a random other lab, and a third for safe keeping, and it should never rely on host country for handling.

FSB
and the FSB had quite the operation with the bottles and all that. i wonder if it was because he was travelling alone, leaving his wife and children, that he was let go. or if perhaps he wasn't tailed properly. i don't know, it's just amazing he got out. but i would never underestimate the FSB

from my understanding, the bottles were supposed to be "tamper proof". i mean such a claim does indeed sound like a challenge but you'd think someone else competent would attempt it, meaning they must have had some way of doing it that is unique
