Just watched this on Netflix, absolutely crazy. One of the best Docs I have ever seen.
I was surprised there wasn't a thread on it. Any one else seen it?

Yup, watched it a few weeks ago on the recommendation of a co-worker. Such an awesome documentary. Hard to talk about how awesome it is without spoilers though haha.

Yeah I watched it a while back. Such a good film, I love how it just takes a hard turn and never looks back.

Pretty interesting documentary. It’s funny that even after doping he couldn’t touch the top group at amateur level. The second part of the movie was just mind bottling.

What's it about? I'd like to see if it contains subject matter I'd be interested in. Without giving away any spoilers, what's it about?

EDIT: Nvm just googled it. Will check it out.

I just watched it, time well spent.

Pretty crazy turn of events and props to Bryan for having the balls to continue.

Also - Dick Pound. What a name.

mind bottling.

Not sure if Blades of Glory reference, or malapropism...

Watched it two times, once by myself, a second time with my Olympics obsessed gf and her sister. They were mesmerized by how deep the doping scandal goes.

But what did they really, really think of Mr. Dick Pound?? Were they memorized by his depth in all of this?

Saw this a few months ago after the Edmonton Cycling club suggested it and damn, surprised the guy isn't dead yet.

The scene where he is at the table with Becky Scott and others, the looks on their faces, wow
