Background: In 2017, the release of Icarus, a documentary on doping in sport, piqued audience interest in the subject and garnered much critical acclaim. The documentary uncovered a Russian state-sponsored Olympic doping programme used during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Since then, there have been continuous doping scandals in sport, including the International Olympic Committee’s concern surrounding a lack of out-of-competition testing in the sport of weightlifting. Martin Dubbey's presentation will cover the risk to sport from the interference of state actors, how far are they embedded in sport and what the implications for clean athletes are.
