About The Author
Grigory Rodchenkov
Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov is the former director of Russia’s national anti-doping laboratory, which was suspended by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in 2015 for facilitating Russia’s elaborate state-sponsored doping program. He helped develop and distribute banned performance enhancing substances for thousands of Russian sports stars from 2005 to 2015. He made headlines in 2016 as a whistleblower, exposing the extensive nature of Russia’s doping program, leading to Russia’s 2016 & 2018 Olympics bans. Rodchenkov is currently in witness protection in the US.
