ICARUS

Some athletes are very strong and fast but the question is what are they used?
What is doping? What will be the effect of this to an athlete’s performance and body? Is
this enough reason to achieve their goals of winning?
Doping are drugs in sports where some athletes and their coaches wants to take
this to achieve their goals which is winning. In the ICARUS documentary movie by
Bryan Fogel for me, it was amazing at first, I was confused what this is all about and
what will be the purpose of this? Then I started watching, it’s about taking drugs of an
athlete which is illegal. Today athletes and coaches pay for the price for those drugs
that they take. Bryan Fogel was the famous bikers at his time there are so many
medals, rewards etc. that he receives but he stopped. Until, this documentary movie
sets out to reveal the truth about doping. Bryan Fogel use a doping (injection of drugs,
urine also I think) for almost 5 months where he feel so strong with the guide of the
Russian scientist name Grigory Rodchenkov. Grigory Rodchenkov was the former head
of Russian’s national anti-doping laboratory. Russian was the most famous in sports but
how Russian makes to be a winner in sports? It is because of doping. Even though it is
dangerous we don’t know what will be the effect of this to the athlete’s body but the
hope and determination of every athlete to win the fight they will do there best however
the way of their preparation was risky and illegal.
Until the time was come, behind their gentle faces they were hiding a secret
whereas there is no secret that will not be revealed on the 5 th of November 2015
Russian athletes should be banned in doping by the World Anti-Doping Agency and the
secretive Russian lab was found by them and Mr. Grigory was involved. He escaped in
Russia by the help of Bryan Fogel. I remember on the book that Grigory read there was
a statement that “Ignorance is strength” he believes in this, but in my opinion if you face
the consequences that was the means of strength. Forasmuch, the thrill of this
documentary came, the interrogation of Bryan Fogel to Grigory started, he confessed
the truth about the illegal doping in Russia and the involved persons are now be known.
Many people are involved in doping just to win and for the money even it is against the
law. Where’s there principle, the ethics? Because of the highest expectation and
popularity they will do wrong even it will have a detriment to themselves? As an athlete,
it was so unfair for those who suffered and doing there best fairly without using a
cheating because this kind of situation shown a fraud. We can win the fight by our own
strategy, determination, learning and acceptance without using an illegal act. If we will
not achieve the top as an athlete there will be a next time that we will realize our
mistakes or defection and improve it till the time comes for us. “Respect Rule, Be Fair
and Play Clean”.
