WORLD AREA LIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
ATHLETICS, QATAR, SEPTEMBER 2019
6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,320
The craziest thing about this story is
the way things turned out in Doha.
7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,560
The most influential coach in the world
Alberto Salazar...
8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,200
...with the support of the largest
companies in the world...
9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,040
...essentially
leading the sport - Nike.
10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,560
He was at the peak of his career.
His athletes shined on the track.
11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,600
Look at the time!
This is a new US record!
12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,000
Konstanz Klosterhalfen
finishes third.
13
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:51,480
We see something very unusual.
This is a championship record.
14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,400
Today history is being made in Doha.
15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,040
And suddenly they throw him out
from the World Cup.
16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,680
His accreditation is cancelled.
17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,680
Important news about the largest
figure in athletics.
18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,120
Alberto Salazar, the most successful
the world's trainer of track and field athletes...
19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,920
...was sent home
from the World Championship.
20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,560
Anti-doping investigation
came to the conclusion: Salazar...
21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,440
...organized and facilitated
doping.
22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,360
But none of his athletes
I didn't get caught breaking the rules.
23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,320
It was suspicious as hell.
We were in Doha.
24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,760
And I say: "What?! Now?!"
25
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,520
This indicative
the case attracted attention...
26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,160
...to everyone who is interested
running and doping.
27
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:40,800
We must not forget what we have
dealing with a huge company - Nike.
28
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:46,920
I can't understand why Nike
clings to Alberto so much.
29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,320
-Did you see anything?
-Never.
30
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,040
Like this: he is the biggest swindler, but
none of his athletes were caught?
31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,640
The one who overcomes his boundaries
in fact, he cannot be a swindler.
32
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,000
Crooks are those who don't give their best
completely. Who is looking for the easy way.
33
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,160
One question about the USADA investigation
on the Salazar case: Is he guilty?
34
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,840
Second: why Nike is making a move on him
such a big bet?
35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,680
And we'll try to find the answer
to this question.
36
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,400
My name is Amby Burfoot.
37
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,280
I won the Boston Marathon
in 1968.
38
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,400
And I was a magazine editor
Runners World is about twenty years old.
39
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,560
When I started running in the middle
60s...
40
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,480
...the runners were not active
members of the sports community.
41
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:56,400
We were despised. These skinny psychos
running around the city in shorts.
42
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,560
They threw beer bottles at us
windows, shouting...
43
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,280
"Hey runners, run home!"
44
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,560
Of course we didn't like it.
45
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:13,720
We lacked recognition
determination...
46
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:20,240
...understanding that running is also a sport,
and a very healthy lifestyle.
47
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,520
FRANK SHORTER USA
48
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,280
In 1972 Frank Shorter won
Olympic Marathon.
49
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,720
And for those who have been following this,
it was an amazing moment.
50
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,000
And then young Bill Rogers
began winning races in the USA.
51
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,600
He was a funny guy, a bit strange,
greetings, but friendly...
52
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,800
...and open, he made a sport
more popular.
53
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,200
The USA had good athletes.
54
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:54,560
Bill, Frank, Joan Benoit,
Patti Catalano and many others.
55
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,920
In the 70s American culture
took up running...
56
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,320
...then the Nike company was born.
57
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,000
EUGENE, OREGON
NIKE'S BIRTHPLACE
58
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,080
Nike as a company grew out of running.
59
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,840
BILL BAUERMAN
CO-FOUNDER, NIKE
60
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,680
They started with the famous
Bowerman waffle irons...
61
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:19,520
...for the manufacture of soles
for sneakers.
62
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,960
And they developed further.
63
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:30,240
Steve Prifontaine, Phil Knight,
Jeff Johnson, Jeff Hollister.
64
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,960
These people had running in their DNA.
65
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,280
BOB WILLIAMS
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON 1963-1967
66
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,560
I'm Bob Williams, I ran
for the University of Oregon 4 years.
67
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,480
I have Bill and Phil Knight with me.
brought...
68
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,960
...and showed these sneakers.
"We want you to run around in them."
69
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,360
Of course we liked them.
Lightweight, flexible. I adored them.
70
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,400
It was an invention
Bill and Phil.
71
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,600
They created the Nike brand...
72
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,480
...thanks to cooperation
and co-developing sneakers.
73
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,040
PETER THOMPSON
NIKE WORKER
74
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,720
I started working at Nike in 1973
when I arrived in Eugene, Oregon.
75
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,640
NIKE
76
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,880
At first Nike was very
innovative company.
77
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:19,040
In the early 70s everything revolved around
running and the needs of athletes.
78
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,840
The goal was the good of the athlete.
79
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,360
We tried to produce
the best shoes.
80
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,480
Nike was named after Nicky
Greek goddess of victory.
81
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,800
WE NAMED OUR SNEAKERS
IN HONOR OF A WOMAN
82
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,160
Athletics is, essentially,
Nike DNA.
83
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,720
SWALLOW THE DUST BEHIND US.
84
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,080
They took this brand, this idea...
85
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,200
...and combined it
with top-notch athletes.
86
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,920
They managed to show the country and the world
that Nike is very special.
87
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:59,800
They don't give up until the very end!
Prifontein won, 3:59.2.
88
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:02,520
Prifontein installed a new one
world record
89
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,000
STEVE PRIFONTAIN
90
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,640
EUGENE, OREGON
91
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,840
This is "Rock Pri".
92
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,200
At this place...
93
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,920
...Steve Prifontaine, unfortunately,
met an early death.
94
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,720
His sports car
turned over, colliding with this rock.
95
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,480
This sanctuary is an integral part
essentially Eugene and Nike.
96
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:36,360
And to this day Nike brings here
leading new employees.
97
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,840
Here, at the "Rock Pri" they give back
honoring his life and achievements.
98
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,040
...more Prifontein!
99
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,120
Prifontein takes the lead.
Going to the finish line!
100
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:55,280
If you remember 1972,
Olympic Games in Munich...
101
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,000
...Steve Prifontaine was very
young runner.
102
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,640
And when there was only one lap left...
103
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,600
...he took the lead
to the gold medal...
104
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,200
...and didn't give up
although he was being pursued by three runners.
105
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,720
Side by side they go out
for the last lap.
106
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,800
At the last turn
two people overtook him.
107
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,520
And just before the finish line
overtook the third one.
108
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,520
Fin wins by 30
seconds, bronze for Stewart.
109
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,560
Prifontein is blown away
in the last meters.
110
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,240
He came fourth
which can be considered a defeat.
111
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,680
But in reality it represents
the very essence of...
112
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,280
...and the essence of Nike at that time:
don't give up, just do it.
113
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,000
Steve Prifontaine can be called
their patron saint.
114
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,560
He came fourth
but he tried to win.
115
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,080
KEN GOU
SPORTS JOURNALIST
116
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,320
He didn't run for a medal,
but for the sake of victory.
117
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,360
I think Phil Knight
saw the spirit of Nike in this.
118
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,280
I'm Alex Hutchinson, scientific
journalist, writing about running...
119
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,080
...columnist for Outside magazine,
Globe and Mail.
120
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,800
Nike's spirit was originally embodied by
Steve Prifontaine.
121
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,680
This idea that every race is
this is a fight to the death.
122
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,480
Prifontein died in 1975.
123
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,680
And for a while in the Nike pantheon
a hole of sorts formed.
124
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,320
Alberto Salazar could perfectly
fill it out.
125
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,920
START, NEW YORK
126
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,080
At eleventh New York
marathon 16 thousand participants.
127
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,640
They came from fifty states
and forty-three countries.
128
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,680
Alberto Salazar of Eugene
runs his first marathon.
129
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,240
Before the start he stated,
that the marathon is “overrated.”
130
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,000
In the late 70s, a high school student...
131
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,520
...and then the student
University of Oregon...
132
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:53,960
...this crazy guy
from Boston...
133
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:59,680
...Alberto Salazar, bright, daring,
suddenly burst onto the stage.
134
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:04,440
Before the race Alberto did
two predictions.
135
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,640
He will defeat Bill Rogers
and he will run in less than 2:10.
136
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:15,240
At 40 km Alberto is close
to a speed record.
137
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,880
Al Salazar appears, he has
good chances to meet 2:10.
138
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:25,760
Incredible achievement!
Unofficial time 2:09.40!
139
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,120
2:09.40 Al Salazar,
New York Marathon
140
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,840
Right after college he went
to the New York Marathon.
141
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,880
Said: "I'll win the first time."
142
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,240
And a year or two later he installed
world record in New York.
143
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,080
-What a performance!
-He will do it, he can!
144
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:51,680
-Al Salazar! New world record!
-He will do it!
145
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,640
2:08.13. New York Marathon
146
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,920
He wanted to win
destroy others.
147
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,200
So Nike
saw and positioned herself.
148
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,000
He is the greatest runner in the world.
And he accepted this role.
149
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,960
He became the face of Nike.
150
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,160
Literally. He starred in their first
commercials.
151
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,480
He picked up the baton
for Steve Prifontaine.
152
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,720
He was a superstar.
Everyone remembered his great victories.
153
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,560
Two remain, Beardsley and Salazar!
Motorcycles must clear the way.
154
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:29,560
Salazar speeds up, the last one
effort, he intends to win!
155
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,320
Alberto Salazar won
at the 1982 Boston Marathon.
156
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,320
"Duel in the Sun"
Three New Yorkers won.
157
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,680
He worked so hard that in Falmouth
Unction was ordered.
158
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,160
We knew he was tough and fast.
159
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,480
When Phil Knight was younger, in the early days
Nike, Alberto was "that guy."
160
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,600
As a child I saw Salazar win
in the New York City Marathon.
161
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,680
I heard stories about him, how he
died after a race in Falmouth.
162
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,440
Go crazy!
You can't come up with something like this on purpose.
163
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,440
I'm Malcolm Gladwell.
164
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,080
I'm a writer, journalist and runner.
165
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,560
MALCOLM GLADWELL
166
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,560
I've written about running and Alberto Salazar.
167
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,640
It was Salazar who showed
American stayers...
168
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,240
...what they can do
serious sport.
169
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,240
I don't think he was talented enough
compare with many others.
170
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,440
Compared to Frank
Shorter or Bill Rogers...
171
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,440
...and other marathon stars
In the 70s it was weaker.
172
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,800
But according to the results, if he could
give 98 percent...
173
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,120
...and others only at 95 or 90,
he was better.
174
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,160
As an athlete, he benefited from his
more data than others.
175
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,960
For most of us almost
It's impossible to give it your all.
176
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,440
We don't want to give a hundred
percent, because it will destroy us.
177
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,480
But he gave one hundred percent.
178
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,440
This made him different from us.
179
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,080
At the very beginning of my career
there was a moment...
180
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,640
...when I gave it my all
percent.
181
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,240
And it was so devastating
that I couldn't go back there.
182
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,480
Who did not participate in the races,
doesn't know what kind of pain it is.
183
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,720
You discover it
and the memory of this remains forever.
184
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,040
He reached the limit and realized
that he is capable of this.
185
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,960
It became the greatest
his advantage as a runner.
186
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:51,040
After brilliant results in running
in the late 70s - early 80s...
187
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,080
...the United States has entered a difficult period.
188
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,520
Hardly anyone knows exactly why
we stopped winning in the race.
189
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:02,400
We won marathons for about 10 years
other countries.
190
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,480
MICHAEL JOYNER
MAYO CLINIC
191
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,520
My name is Michael Joyner,
I am a physiologist and anesthesiologist...
192
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,040
...at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,
Minnesota.
193
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,680
We are studying
limits of human capabilities...
194
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,440
...we define the boundaries of potential
and endurance.
195
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,520
The question is why the US survived
kind of a period of decline...
196
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:26,200
...in marathons...
197
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,840
...from about the mid-80s
before the early 2000s?
198
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,040
HANCOCK ASICS JOHN HANCOCK
199
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,600
To be honest I think
people didn't exercise much.
200
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,600
Here are Hussein and Ikanga.
201
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,840
Ibrahim Hussein, victorious
in New York, wins in Boston.
202
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,520
In the 80s and early 90s
Africans came into force.
203
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:54,440
Since the 90s, Kenyans have participated and
won the Boston Marathon.
204
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,240
Of course, after one Kenyan
and one marathon...
205
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:03,040
...there are two of them, then
four, sixteen, thirty-two.
206
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,400
I've been there before
at the Boston Marathons.
207
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:07,800
In the finale they ran along the highway
20 Kenyans.
208
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,080
It was like Kenyan
African Championship.
209
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,000
You know, the USA is the third strongest
countries in long-distance running.
210
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,480
After Kenya and Ethiopia.
211
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,560
I retired around 1990
and I was very lucky.
212
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:25,400
I became the best stayer just
before the "African Revolution".
213
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,160
Before they flooded
world of athletics.
214
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,120
And at the Olympics the distance is 5 km
I ran fourth in 13:11.
215
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:39,040
I was tenth with my result
one of the fastest men in history.
216
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,760
Now I probably
I’m not even in 300.
217
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,240
People like Alberto Salazar
tried to solve this riddle.
218
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:53,200
Alberto was annoyed and said: no
reasons for the US not to be first.
219
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,920
In the early 80s Alberto was
the best runner in the world.
220
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,200
What happened to the US stayers,
why did we disappear from visibility?
221
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,440
In the early 2000s, Nike wanted to create
the club that will defeat all others.
222
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,200
I wanted to create
the best runners in the world.
223
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,200
This was very important to Salazar.
224
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,360
He said: "I think
I can create a system...
225
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,480
...from my coaching work
and Nike support...
226
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,600
...to put the US back on top
plan and create better runners...
227
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,600
...the fastest in the world,
here in Oregon.
228
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,560
CREATING THE PERFECT
RUNNER
229
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,720
Nike decided to create a team...
230
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,720
...and who is best suited
for this from their point of view?
231
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,280
Known to them as the best in the world
marathon runner
232
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,360
Moreover, he is to the core
Nike man.
233
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,000
Alberto Salazar.
234
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,480
Nike had the resources
for any ideas Alberto has.
235
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,840
And they were provided to him.
In the early 2000s it started...
236
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
...with the Nike Oregon project.
237
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,200
They realized that they could connect
innovation, science to create...
238
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,720
...great program
and they did it.
239
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,680
The Nike Oregon Project Became Everything
better, people came to Alberto.
240
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,040
Or he found them himself and said...
241
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,200
"Sign the contract,
We will make you great."
242
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,840
The goal of our team is to form
American marathon runners.
243
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,960
The kind that can run like that
how we ran 22-23 years ago.
244
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,840
With our level of knowledge
about sports medicine...
245
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,680
...we can achieve, at a minimum,
the same speed as 20 years ago.
246
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,160
-Yes.
-There are no obstacles.
247
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,560
I think the Nike Oregon project
under Alberto he was a legend.
248
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,800
Look at the results
this is one of, or the most successful...
249
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,120
...team of stayers
in the history of running in the United States.
250
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:59,040
Galen Rupp - first US victory in
Chicago Marathon since 2002.
251
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:04,200
Centrowitz smells glory!
Centrowitz is an Olympic champion!
252
00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:09,480
This is a new US record.
Jordan Hussey, this is amazing!
253
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,480
Galen Rapp took
two Olympic medals.
254
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,120
Matthew Sentrowitz won
Olympic gold medal.
255
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,360
Mo Farah, he's not American
but four times Olympic champion.
256
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,880
Mo Farah is in the lead. What power!
257
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,560
He started to break away.
Mo Farah wins again!
258
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,840
Mo, of course, was very talented.
259
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,240
He has reached his peak
and Alberto took him even higher.
260
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:38,280
I'd take Mo Farah four
Olympic medals without Alberto?
261
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,760
I doubt.
262
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,880
Salazar's team is in the lead!
263
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,400
Mo Farah will take the gold
Galen Rapp is in second place.
264
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,800
Galen Rapp is amazing. Salazar
found him and brought him to the top.
265
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,160
And Matthew Centrowitz...
amazing job!
266
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:00,040
Kara was also in the Nike Oregon project
Goucher, bronze world champion.
267
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,920
Dathan Ritzenhein, US record holder
in the 5 km run...
268
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,960
...and world champion in half marathon.
269
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:08,600
Shannon Rowbury, three times
Olympic medalist...
270
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,760
...and world champion
at a distance of 1.5 km.
271
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,120
Mary Kane, owner
world record among juniors.
272
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,800
And let's not forget about the athletes...
273
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,840
...who came to the Oregon Project
after these successes .
274
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,880
Kam Levins, Canadian
marathon record holder.
275
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,160
Donovan Brazier, world champion
at a distance of 800 m .
276
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:31,560
Constance Klosterhalfen,
world champion from Germany.
277
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,760
And perhaps the best athlete
of all times...
278
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,200
...Sifan Hassan from Holland.
279
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:42,920
For the first time, one person won
at distances of both 10 and 1.5 km.
280
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,880
This is one of the fastest
results.
281
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,480
The most beautiful double victory
in athletics.
282
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:54,040
She won the 10 km, and then
returned and beat everyone by 1.5 km.
283
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,720
No one had even tried it before.
284
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,200
He was successful in
what did you take on, right?
285
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:03,120
He was at the top.
286
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,480
Salazar was the one who said:
"I will not accept defeat."
287
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,600
"We can compete."
288
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,920
And this idea transformed
athletics in the USA.
289
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,360
DOHA, QATAR
SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
290
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,560
Breaking news about one of the
the biggest names in athletics.
291
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,240
Alberto Salazar, famous
Nike Oregon project coach...
292
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,760
...suspended from sports work
for 4 years.
293
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,920
After four years of investigation
and two years in court...
294
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,560
...USADA announced:
295
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,640
...Salazar and the endocrinologist
Jeffrey Brown is waiting...
296
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,240
-...4 years of disqualification.
-They report that they reported...
297
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,920
...Nike CEO Mark Parker
about experiments...
298
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,040
...with doping.
299
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,000
In one of them it was used externally
male hormone.
300
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,080
I'm Weldon Johnson
one of the founders of LetsRun.com.
301
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,720
This is a site for US runners,
for the passionate, strong...
302
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,040
...competition participants,
professional athletes.
303
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,760
When you're at the World Cup
2019 heard...
304
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,560
...about Salazar's removal -
in the middle of the championship!
305
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,200
Didn't you find it suspicious?
that the report was submitted so “on time”?
306
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:29,480
Yes, that would be very suspicious.
We were in Doha.
307
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,960
And I thought: “What?!”
308
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:36,080
And so Alberto Salazar was kicked out of
sports for 4 years.
309
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,400
I thought, "Now?
Are you kidding me or what?"
310
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,400
Of course he was pursued:
wanted to catch a big fish.
311
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,240
But with a figure of this magnitude
There is always a lot of speculation.
312
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,560
He worked as a coach for a long time,
he was supported by Nike.
313
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,160
SALAZAR KICKED OUT OF THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
DUE TO DOPING
314
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,360
When I heard the announcement
I was shocked.
315
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,520
Why did USAA do this?
Why did you choose that moment...
316
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:06,640
...as his athletes prepare
to the biggest race in the world?
317
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,960
It happened unexpectedly.
There were rumors about Salazar...
318
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:14,160
...a couple of years, but they had already died down
and were forgotten.
319
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:20,480
The USADA investigation was 5-6 years old.
320
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,960
If Salazar had been suspended
in 2015, this would have become a sensation.
321
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:29,640
But let the matter fall asleep, and then
strike in the middle of the World Cup...
322
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,320
...this is a new level.
323
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,880
USADA SUSPENS SALAZAR FOR...
324
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,560
...EXPERIMENTS WITH TESTOSTERONE
AND L-CARNITINE...
325
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,200
...AND DOPING VIOLATIONS
CONTROL.
326
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:44,960
AGAINST SALAZAR'S ATHLETES
NO CHARGES PLACED.
327
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,200
They got away with it
quite serious violations.
328
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:52,840
Non-athletes also participated in two.
Alberto confessed to both cases.
329
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,160
In experiments with L-carnitine
with Steve Magnus, trainer.
330
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:01,680
And experiments with testosterone
with his sons, who are not athletes.
331
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,120
It has been proven
and Salazar admitted...
332
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,040
...that he carried out experiments
on your son.
333
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,280
Rubbed ointment into his shoulder
with testosterone,
334
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,800
I checked if it would give
positive test.
335
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,040
He explained that he was afraid
that someone will set up his athletes.
336
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,560
He wanted to know how many
ointment will give a positive test.
337
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,720
This is one version of the story.
Second: he found out how much...
338
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,880
...the ointments can be rubbed in unnoticeably.
339
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,600
The funny thing about the Salazar case...
340
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,040
...which is not worth the question,
did he do it?
341
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,880
Everyone knows what he did.
This is clearly proven in the report.
342
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,960
But none of his athletes
were not disqualified.
343
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:42,520
Apparently he did something bad
but without harming his charges.
344
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,040
Galen Rapp passed the most samples
among US athletes.
345
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,200
They were checked constantly.
346
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:52,800
Well, I understand, of course.
I'm focused on the race.
347
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,480
I declare again...
348
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,600
...at the Oregon Project athletes
there were no positive samples.
349
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,680
They have never been caught
prohibited methods and substances.
350
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,920
Everyone had a lot of questions.
But Alberto said...
351
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,920
"None of the competitors
I didn't take anything."
352
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,960
And this is the craziest thing.
353
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:15,880
With all this
we can't prove anything.
354
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,320
Not one time when I was
at The Oregon Project...
355
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,520
...I was not offered and I did not see
nothing dubious or illegal.
356
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,600
None of what is being written about now.
Otherwise I would have left.
357
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,240
What do people think?
Why aren't they taking samples from me?
358
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,320
I believe in clean sport.
I am always clean and will remain so.
359
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,040
As long as I have known Alberto, he has always
works hard.
360
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,440
AFTER 6 YEARS OF INVESTIGATION
USADA HAS ESTABLISHED:
361
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,960
ALBERTO SALAZAR DID NOT GIVE
PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES
362
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:48,720
TO ANYONE FROM THE OREGON PROJECT.
363
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,120
THE COUNCIL CONCLUDED: SALAZAR
"ACTED HONESTLY"
364
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,640
BUT MADE "MISCORES"
365
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,560
"UNINTENTIONALLY VIOLATING
RULES."
366
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,960
Like this: he is the biggest swindler, but
none of his athletes were caught?
367
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,560
You need to understand two things that
make Alberto work.
368
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,720
And you have to understand why Nike
I trusted him so much.
369
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,080
You can learn
train better.
370
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,560
The only obvious problem...
371
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,600
...when people dope.
372
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,080
We will never touch
to this.
373
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,480
This is not an option for us.
374
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,640
I would say Alberto Salazar
the greatest coach in the world.
375
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,440
For me to train
with Salazar was a childhood dream.
376
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,640
This is the first runner
which I saw on TV.
377
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,640
I remember dad called me
to the living room.
378
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,960
"Look, this guy from Oregon,
He's going to win now!"
379
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:50,720
It was the Boston Marathon.
380
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:57,760
Alberto was more of a teacher.
50 percent coach...
381
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,120
...at 50 - a mentor.
382
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,360
KARA GOOCHER
PROJECT NIKE OREGON 2005-2011
383
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:08,160
I went to the World Cup for the first time and took
medal, my dream came true.
384
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:13,240
Then I got on the covers
magazines. All thanks to Alberto.
385
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,000
It was he who taught me
think so big.
386
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:21,960
I'd be lying if I said he didn't play
important role in my success.
387
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,960
He was a father figure.
We loved each other.
388
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:30,360
He called my mom and told her
how much he loves me.
389
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,400
We spend a lot of time
spent together.
390
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,320
I didn't only talk to him
about ambitions in sports, but also about life.
391
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,920
About my past.
About hopes for the future.
392
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,040
It seems wild now
Now I don’t know him at all.
393
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,880
But then I could talk to him
about anything.
394
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:57,920
Everyone knows: Al worked himself up
to perfection, to greatness.
395
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:05,480
And he told me: “Why should I be
90 percent coach?
396
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,960
To become great you have to work
by 100...
397
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:10,360
...and demand the same from athletes."
398
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:18,400
I think he's hard to love.
It's easy to respect him.
399
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,720
He is uncompromising
he is a man of extremes
400
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,920
You can call him spoiled
genius.
401
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,800
This often happens to geniuses
and eccentric people.
402
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,560
With those who explore and push apart
limits. They achieve a lot...
403
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,960
...but they also make mistakes sometimes
crossing the line.
404
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:37,640
RICK LOVETT
WRITER AND COACH
405
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,760
I'm Rick Lovett, a trainer at the local
running club
406
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,600
I wrote two books with Alberto,
that's how we met him.
407
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:51,000
He is one of those who, having found himself
a millimeter from the forbidden line...
408
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,160
...worried about this.
409
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,080
The problem is
what about some rules...
410
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,240
...the lines are not so clearly defined,
like a stripe on a track.
411
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,360
I GUESS IT'S HARD TO BE NOW
IN THE TOP 5 IN THE WORLD
412
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,000
AT ANY DISTANCE
413
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,440
WITHOUT USING EPO
AND GROWTH HORMONE
414
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,720
ALBERTO SALAZAR,
DUKE LAW MAGAZINE, 1999
415
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,080
In 1999, Salazar gave a speech...
416
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,000
...about the limits of our capabilities.
417
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,080
He said he didn't count
possible...
418
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,000
...to compete at the highest level
level.
419
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,440
No doping
or technology.
420
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:36,560
The question is whether it deserves
is he criticized for this statement?
421
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:42,240
Alberto said: you can't become
the best in the world, playing by the rules.
422
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,120
When Alberto said this in
mid-90s, there was a lot of noise.
423
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,240
I was running for Oregon at the time.
Many have discussed these words.
424
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,920
And we all said:
"He's absolutely right."
425
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:05,760
Of course, in the 90s many believed
that doping is used en masse.
426
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:11,480
There are many records from that time
which no one beat.
427
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,960
EPO is erythropoietin.
428
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:17,520
This is a hormone produced
kidneys...
429
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,200
It stimulates the bone marrow
produce more red blood cells.
430
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:23,080
Red blood cells carry oxygen.
431
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,680
More red blood cells are transferred
more oxygen.
432
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,040
And they increase productivity.
433
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,960
EPO approved for clinical use
use for anemia.
434
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:35,360
Athletes immediately began to use it.
435
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:40,160
It was the Wild West: for him
there were no tests.
436
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,520
Read about Lance Armstrong,
about what they did...
437
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,640
...to bypass doping tests,
These are real spy stories.
438
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,600
Many have used
that statement from Salazar...
439
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,800
...as proof that he gave
doping to their athletes.
440
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,920
But this is incorrect.
441
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,000
What he said in the 90s -
just a statement of fact.
442
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,400
Things like EPO give
such a burst of energy...
443
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,840
...that such people cannot be defeated
without doping.
444
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,960
I think he said this...
445
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,800
"Is it possible for US runners
catch up without breaking the rules?"
446
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,040
I think that was the point
the essence of his project.
447
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,200
1:30, 1:31, Mo.
448
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,680
Like coach Alberto, perhaps
the best of all.
449
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,320
He was inventive, resourceful...
450
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,200
...decisive,
full of competitive spirit.
451
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,960
He was like a mad scientist.
452
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,440
He took over the premises
altitude training.
453
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,720
He was having a heated argument
with the administration...
454
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,000
...is such training appropriate?
at home and he won.
455
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,640
Nike Oregon Project has started.
456
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,720
Alberto arranged a room for
altitude training in Portland.
457
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,680
In every room it was possible
set the height, and the athletes lived...
458
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:04,200
...and slept there, receiving home
conditions of advantage of height.
459
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,440
He forced Galen to run 80 km
a week underwater.
460
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,760
They installed a treadmill
into the pool to enhance the effect.
461
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,520
He ran more than 50 km a week,
without exposing the body to stress.
462
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,160
That's how he thought.
463
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,760
For example, the company AlterG.
She started from scratch.
464
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,080
Gave people an opportunity
keep healthy...
465
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,680
...train for injuries,
this is very important.
466
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,520
My job is to write about science in
In sports, as a rule, it is...
467
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,320
"How can I get faster?
with the help of technology?
468
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,240
These wild rumors or news
about scientific research...
469
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,720
"Anti-obesity pills
will make you faster!"
470
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,080
I'm researching the topic
I'm looking for scientific research.
471
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,360
And I understand: “Stop. Alberto Salazar
and the Oregon Project...
472
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,840
...they’ve been doing this for 2 years.”
473
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,840
They used capsules
with infrared light.
474
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,880
Cryosauna - a cabin in which you
sprays with liquid nitrogen...
475
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,240
...a couple of hundred degrees below zero.
This helps you recover.
476
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,600
Having learned about it, he informed the company...
477
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,080
..."Ritzenhein will run a marathon
in New York."
478
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,800
"He urgently needs
deliver a cryosauna."
479
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,040
And they brought a cryosauna from Texas
to New York.
480
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,280
To Ritzenhein
maybe for three minutes...
481
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,200
...immerse your feet in liquid nitrogen
before the marathon.
482
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:31,040
I saw Galen Rapp stage
US record for 3 km.
483
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,880
Six! Seven! He did it!
484
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,200
Galen Rapp beat by two seconds
US record!
485
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:44,720
And then a replay of the footage of him running
mile. Soon after that.
486
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,280
I thought, "This is crazy."
487
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,320
-Four exactly!
-Well, well!
488
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,800
Everything I knew about running and
training, broken into pieces.
489
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,360
I don't know anything!
490
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,280
My coach would never give me
train after such a race.
491
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,480
I don't know if this can stand it
my body.
492
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,920
These videos are from Alberto's training,
Mo and other times...
493
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,080
...in the gym, they're working hard
developed balance and strength.
494
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,920
We've never done this before.
For me the balance in the 80s...
495
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,160
...and strength is lifting a pint then
right, then left hand.
496
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,360
It's just a different world.
And I admire him.
497
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,560
I'm jealous. I would like to be a member
team of such a smart coach.
498
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,920
Conscious,
attentive to detail.
499
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:33,280
I could run a lot faster.
Without any doubt.
500
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:38,480
13, 14... control the pace.
501
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,840
One case that expresses the essence
Alberto...
502
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,320
At the Rio Marathon, Galen is in first place.
drinking station grabbed a bottle...
503
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,640
...and attached to it with an elastic band
cap.
504
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,440
He took the bottle and ran...
now you will see...
505
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,920
He took off his cap and put on a new one,
which I took with the bottle.
506
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,560
As I understand it, she was
somehow chilled.
507
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,480
But no one thought before...
508
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,480
"This is a water station, that's all.
not for equipment."
509
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,240
This was not in the rules!
It never occurred to anyone.
510
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,800
Alberto saw a loophole in the rules
and a chance to help your athlete.
511
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,720
And he got away with it. Smart.
512
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,360
Galen Rapp - bronze medalist
marathon...
513
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,880
...although he participates in marathons
quite recently.
514
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,360
Those who take EPO do not put
treadmill in the pool.
515
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,040
He came up with different ways
even the odds.
516
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:40,560
That doesn't make him a cheater, it just
he understood the nature of the problem.
517
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,720
He tried to follow the rules...
518
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,440
...but get as close as possible
to the edge of the line.
519
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,800
It's a risky strategy
because sometimes at the same time...
520
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,560
...you can cross the line.
521
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,720
Nike does good things, but
and Nike has an ugly side.
522
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,680
I'm Chris Chavez, Staff Writer.
Sports Illustrated.
523
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,160
CHRIS CHAVEZ
JOURNALIST
524
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,840
In November 2019 I wrote
oh Mary Kane...
525
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:21,280
...about accusations of toxic
the culture of the Nike project under Salazar.
526
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,800
THE CULT OF THE OREGON PROJECT
527
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:28,720
The New York Times released the film
with Mary Kane...
528
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,040
...about mental and physical
violence...
529
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,720
...to which she was subjected
under Salazar...
530
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:40,120
...when she was with The Oregon Project.
It was a powerful video.
531
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,880
I was the fastest girl
in the USA.
532
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,720
I joined Nike because
I wanted to become a better athlete.
533
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:54,560
Instead I moved
emotional and physical shock.
534
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:58,360
In the system developed by Alberto,
and Nike approved.
535
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:06,120
Mary Kane takes the lead! Here
there are athletes twice her age.
536
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,120
Victory is hers, for sure!
It's already close...
537
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,760
And the 16-year-old athlete became
champion.
538
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,440
She was one of the future
sports stars.
539
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,520
But suddenly she faded.
540
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,760
Kane craze 2013
the year has come to an end.
541
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,200
And little was known...
542
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,000
...about where she went,
what happened.
543
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,800
In 2015 at the competition
in California...
544
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,240
...Mary Kane performed poorly.
545
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,960
Mary Kane comes 11th
with a result of 4:16:48.
546
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:54,880
Alberto was angry with Mary
probably said something about her weight.
547
00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:00,920
In front of people, in front of athletes
and the coaches who were there.
548
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,600
After this, Mary Kane for the first time
said to Alberto Salazar...
549
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:11,440
...that she hurts herself,
cuts himself. She expected...
550
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,440
...what they will find for her
professional psychologist.
551
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,280
But this did not happen.
They waved her off.
552
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:24,200
They went to dinner at the hotel
Mary never received help.
553
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,000
If any of
my athletes told me...
554
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:31,480
"How much caffeine do I need?
take it to stay up all night?"
555
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:36,040
I would find out what's wrong
and sent me to a specialist.
556
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,520
"MARY'S FATHER IS A DOCTOR
557
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,000
HER PARENTS ARE ACTIVE
HAVE PARTICIPATED IN HER CAREER
558
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,720
(WHEN I WAS HER COACH)
I NEVER ENCOURAGED HER
559
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,000
AND DIDN’T BE SHAMED FOR BEING OVER WEIGHT"
ALBERTO SALAZAR, NOVEMBER 2019
560
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,800
For a pro, the contract depends on
skills to cope with this stress.
561
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,840
And she got into professional
sport while still a schoolgirl.
562
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:01,040
Few of her peers survived
moreover, she moved.
563
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,520
For some reason her parents decided
that she is better off with Alberto.
564
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,360
When she signed the contract
with Salazar, I thought...
565
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:14,360
"He's not right for her." It's too much
a lot of light and independence.
566
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,280
You won't go to Salazar,
if your goal is pleasure.
567
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,720
They just weren't right for each other.
568
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,880
This man when he ran the marathon
in the South African heat...
569
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,520
...refused to drink water in order to
do not add weight while running.
570
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:38,840
An amazing victory. Magnificent
time - 5 hours 38 minutes.
571
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,520
He was just obsessed with weight.
572
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:46,480
In the place of the parents of a 15-year-old
daughter thinking about...
573
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,000
...to work with Salazar,
I would say: "No!"
574
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:55,440
He didn't hide how much he
crazy It was obvious.
575
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,840
It's related to the crazy
Alberto's experiments.
576
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:09,720
He tried to get closer to
border. Weight is one of the factors.
577
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,760
He was looking for
every extra ounce...
578
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,240
...this is important over long distances.
579
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,960
This could be worth a gold medal.
580
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,320
But this ounce may
break someone's bones.
581
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,680
Any professional runner
will say...
582
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,320
...with a lot of weight
the results are below.
583
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,920
With athletes it is very necessary
discuss this carefully.
584
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,880
Few men are capable
withstand this.
585
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,720
And such a passionate coach as
Alberto, not a good fit...
586
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,440
...to discuss these things.
587
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,920
Alberto always spoke to me
about my weight.
588
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:47,200
Because I weighed a lot
approximately 64-65.
589
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,760
I remember one day I weighed 62,
I was so happy.
590
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,880
I came to training: "Alberto,
This morning I weighed 62!"
591
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,200
And he said: "If you want to run
5 km, lose weight to sixty."
592
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,320
He kept track of everyone's weight
athletes.
593
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,120
He forced you to lose weight
from time to time?
594
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,880
Yes, yes, it happened.
595
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,920
I don't know how he calculated
ideal weight.
596
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,880
But yes, he put pressure on me.
597
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,760
But, you know, this is not surprising.
598
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,040
It's important that Al doesn't pay
for the sins of an entire culture.
599
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,160
This obsession with weight
among female athletes and the like.
600
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:31,720
He wasn't alone.
601
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,680
He was a prominent figure
distinguished by his directness and vivid history.
602
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,120
The higher the position,
the more painful the fall.
603
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,120
There is such a variety
trainers...
604
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:54,120
...with a very specific
and narrow motivation.
605
00:39:54,280 --> 00:40:00,160
For them results come first
their athletes.
606
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,680
Many coaches behave
like parents.
607
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,400
And the task of a parent is not to achieve
maximum results from children.
608
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,160
And to raise a happy one,
a complete person.
609
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,840
Salazar is a coach who
doesn't behave like a parent.
610
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,920
And people take it all the time
for the "parent coach".
611
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,640
He's not like that
he is a demanding coach.
612
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,840
As a child, he ran every day.
One day he got a sore throat...
613
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,600
...and lay in bed with a high
temperature...
614
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,480
...and there was a snowstorm outside.
615
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:37,000
He got out of bed and into the snowstorm,
with temperature...
616
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,120
...with a sore throat, he ran
your norm.
617
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,080
Do you understand?
That's who we're dealing with.
618
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:45,200
This is its essence.
619
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,680
He's a guy out in a snowstorm...
620
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,720
with a temperature below 40,
to run your quota.
621
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:56,640
He ran an ultramarathon
through the African desert.
622
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,360
And didn't drink water
so as not to gain weight.
623
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,720
He gave so much effort at the race,
that he was unction...
624
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,760
...they thought he was dead.
That's who you're dealing with.
625
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:14,320
From this everything is clear.
If you're not ready for this...
626
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,040
...then you shouldn't run
with Alberto Salazar.
627
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,840
And Nike took this approach,
to help athletes win...
628
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,840
...by all means, under these conditions
Al Salazar works.
629
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:36,760
I think there's every reason
consider Alberto the embodiment...
630
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,480
...the principles of Nike.
631
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:47,760
When he started the Nike Oregon Project,
his philosophy was...
632
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,680
...that we will do everything
let's involve science...
633
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:55,160
...technology and innovation,
to make runners faster.
634
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,760
L-carnitine is a perfect example.
635
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,720
One of the substances used -
L-carnitine...
636
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,000
...accelerating recovery
muscles and hearts in athletes.
637
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:10,160
It is allowed in doses
no more than 50 ml in 6 hours.
638
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,560
But Salazar came up with a new one
method...
639
00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:15,840
...uses of L-carnitine
intravenously.
640
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,360
What raised questions from USADA.
641
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,680
Carnitine is essential
in muscle metabolism.
642
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,640
Theoretically, it can reduce
fatigue during exercise.
643
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,960
But if you introduce to a person
large dose intravenously...
644
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,000
...will the impact be immediate?
645
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,960
Here's the question:
was Farah involved in this?
646
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,360
And it seems like people have a hard time
remember exactly...
647
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,520
...what happened and what didn’t,
the stories change all the time.
648
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,000
MO HEADLIGHT, 4X
OLYMPIC CHAMPION
649
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:56,640
He told doping authorities
that he did not take L-carnitine.
650
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,440
He was asked: "Are you sure
Have you taken L-carnitine?"
651
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,480
He said: "Exactly, I would never
100 percent."
652
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,520
I went out and talked to someone,
returned: “Oh, actually...”
653
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,680
And he said careless words.
654
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,880
"I have a confession to make."
Maybe, of course, this is a reservation.
655
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,160
Moe was not known for his eloquence.
656
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,400
But "I must confess"
implies guilt.
657
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,360
Then like, “You know, I was thinking
and remembered more clearly"...
658
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,120
...sounds much better.
659
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,640
To be honest,
This makes me very upset.
660
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:36,160
You talk about it over and over again
and in the headings: Farah, Farah, Farah.
661
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:40,040
There are no charges against me.
I didn't do anything wrong.
662
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:46,480
The charges concern Alberto
Salazar and The Oregon Project.
663
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,600
This is a legal substance
it is in food.
664
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,120
There is a theory that it works
like doping.
665
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,960
Now no one believes in it, but
Salazar decided it was worth a try.
666
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,920
The problem is that according to the rules
You cannot inject more than 50 ml...
667
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,360
...every six hours.
This is necessary to...
668
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,440
...prevent you from administering drugs
directly into the body.
669
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:11,720
The USADA report concluded:
famous track and field coach...
670
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,800
...Alberto Salazar applied
prohibited substances such as doping.
671
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:20,760
Armstrong and Salazar discussed
the "gray area" of doping methods.
672
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,840
Salazar wrote to Armstrong
in email...
673
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,160
...before the champion
Tour de France caught doping...
674
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,800
..."Lance, call urgently. We
tested it, it's amazing."
675
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,040
Salazar insists
what is the use of this drug...
676
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,320
...never violated WADA rules.
677
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:42,680
Mo Farah besides the unpleasant story
with L-carnitine injections...
678
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:48,720
...besides, he denied it,
despite the evidence.
679
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,360
And in such a situation everything seems
even more suspicious.
680
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,160
They said that he was definitely lying.
681
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,720
The investigators asked: “Needle,
L-carnitine, don’t you remember?”
682
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:01,200
And he: “No.”
683
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,240
Maybe Mo was trying to be
literally like Bill Clinton...
684
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,200
"I didn't have sex with her."
"Oh, L-carnitine? I thought it was something else."
685
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,400
I thought they were vitamins."
686
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,280
This is the most lenient
interpretation of Mo's words.
687
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,680
But he admitted to taking L-carnitine
another athlete is Datan Ritzenhein.
688
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,200
-Is this correct?
-Yes.
689
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,640
I'm Datan Ritzenhein, Chief.
coach of the On Athletics club.
690
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,400
I've been to the Olympics three times
set a US record...
691
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,200
...took bronze at the World Championships
half marathon.
692
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,320
Now the matter has come to light
with L-carnitine. Will you comment?
693
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:41,320
I can't, no way.
The case is still ongoing, so...
694
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,720
...I can't talk about it.
695
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,240
They will still call me
to testify.
696
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,920
So I can't talk about it.
697
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,480
Injecting L-carnitine...
698
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,280
...if it's legal,
it's legal. Do you understand?
699
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,480
Yes, it's a risk, but all athletes take risks.
700
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:10,120
I'm not that worried about L-carnitine
by myself.
701
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,320
Looks like Alberto
experimented...
702
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,320
...was looking for a way
make the athlete faster.
703
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:24,200
I am absolutely sure: if in
The rules allow one gram...
704
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:30,000
...of some substance per day, athletes
Alberto took 0.99 grams.
705
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:37,320
My name is Jake Riley, I'm a member
2020 USA Marathon Teams.
706
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,560
Yes, what's wrong with that?
it's an amino acid.
707
00:46:39,720 --> 00:46:43,000
You can probably get it if
eat some...
708
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,400
...a supplement, but here you get it
in concentrated form.
709
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,720
It's unnatural.
Like many other things.
710
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,640
But yes, when you start
poking the body with syringes...
711
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,240
...looks like you're up
onto a slippery slope.
712
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,400
If the goal is to comply with the letter,
but not the spirit of the law...
713
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,560
...I think there's a good chance that...
714
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:10,240
...at some point
you'll go too far.
715
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:16,880
Do I think Alberto came in
too far? Maybe.
716
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,640
I don't think he thought so himself.
This was part of this "one hundred percent".
717
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,600
“I give the athletes 100 percent.
Let them give 100 percent too"
718
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:32,720
Project participants like Kara Goucher,
thought something else was going on.
719
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,840
It's like an inner circle.
720
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:40,440
There is no evidence.
Only two people know what happened.
721
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,240
If you have to talk
under oath, will you testify?
722
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,280
I will be glad to have this opportunity
for me...
723
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,840
...for all former members of the Project
Oregon, all participating physicians.
724
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,760
I will be happy to take the oath.
725
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,280
I began to notice that
which made me feel bad.
726
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,040
The culmination was the World Championship
in 2011.
727
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:11,880
A year and a half later I told
USADA investigators...
728
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:16,640
...that I saw in The Oregon Project.
And in 2015 I told everyone.
729
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:21,800
What did you see, why did you
didn’t like Nike and the Project itself?
730
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,280
People took a lot
prescription drugs.
731
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:25,760
No need.
732
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,800
I saw team members
feigned dehydration...
733
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,760
...for the IV before the race.
734
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:36,320
The coach wanted to give me
someone's prescription drugs.
735
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,160
I saw testosterone gel
but they told me it was for Alberto.
736
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,600
And I believed it.
I saw bubbles in the refrigerator...
737
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,960
...they told me it was due to allergies,
and I believed.
738
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:52,000
But when I started to see others
things that are clearly beyond ethics...
739
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,160
...when my comrades started
take pills...
740
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,760
...I just had to leave.
741
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:02,000
-What kind of pills were these?
-It was supposedly vitamin B.
742
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,680
But this was not true.
743
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,400
-What was that?
-I don't know.
744
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:12,080
I was told vitamin B
Not available in tablet form.
745
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:15,520
The coach wanted
so that I take cytomel.
746
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,000
This is a prescription drug
for the thyroid gland.
747
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,640
Side effect -
it helps to lose weight.
748
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,880
For me this was already beyond the bounds.
749
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:31,840
"ONCE I GAVE KARA CYTOMEL,
AFTER DIRECT INSTRUCTIONS
750
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:38,320
ENDOCRINOLOGIST KARA, DOCTOR
BROWN." SALAZAR, JUNE 24, 2015
751
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,880
Alberto was such an athlete.
He went to the limit.
752
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:44,880
And he became the same coach.
753
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:49,840
He was very supportive of me
I think he was rooting for me...
754
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:55,480
...just didn't always know what he was doing,
how best to help.
755
00:49:56,720 --> 00:50:00,000
This is probably his main one
I think he cares.
756
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,120
You just need to share it.
757
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:08,400
In my opinion, what happened to him
and this punishment is right.
758
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:13,560
I know Alberto Salazar
since the mid 70s.
759
00:50:13,720 --> 00:50:19,840
And if Kara Goucher refuses
from the project, from the support of Nike...
760
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:24,320
...probably that's because
that she believed that her principles...
761
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,720
...her ethics, her morality
were disadvantaged.
762
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,400
How difficult was it for you personally?
763
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:38,080
It was very difficult.
There were bad days and good ones.
764
00:50:38,240 --> 00:50:41,880
I can't believe it, it's just crazy
that this was my life.
765
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:47,400
I always thought: I'll quit racing, I'll
help Alberto, work at Nike.
766
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:52,480
That he will always be in my life.
767
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:58,240
Sometimes I can't believe it
that this is how my life ended.
768
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,440
I thought that my life
will be completely different.
769
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,760
Don't you miss him?
770
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,560
I miss who I thought he was.
771
00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:11,360
He was an important figure
in my life.
772
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:17,680
But he's not like that. So it's like I
I yearn for something unreal.
773
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:36,960
What do I think about reports?
These are just accusations.
774
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,520
I once lived in a house
Alberto Salazar.
775
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,040
So when Alberto called
and said to me: “Can you come?
776
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,960
We're leaving for a couple of days,
look after the house."
777
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,320
I was with him in 45 minutes, he
said, "Ben, the house is yours.
778
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:55,720
Here's food, here's dog food."
He didn't say...
779
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,320
"Don't go into that room
don't open that box...
780
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,600
...don't do anything."
Alberto trusted me.
781
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,920
Even this one fact
gives me confidence...
782
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:10,200
...that when I collaborated
with Alberto, nothing like that happened.
783
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,800
-You didn’t see anything?
-Not once.
784
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,520
My name is Cameron Levins, I
Olympic champion from Canada.
785
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,720
I am the Canadian record holder in the marathon.
786
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,720
I participated in the Nike Oregon Project
from 2013 to 2017.
787
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,960
Now my sponsor is Hoka One.
788
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,600
I've never been pressured
I didn't see anything.
789
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:39,400
When I joined the group we
We discussed this with Alberto.
790
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:45,960
And he said something like this:
"If you notice anything...
791
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,760
...don't agree
and tell me about it."
792
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,600
Have you seen anything
suspicious?
793
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,160
No, this has never happened.
794
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,840
I was checked every couple of weeks
probably.
795
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,520
And before the competition
checked too.
796
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:08,440
Samples do not give confidence that I...
"clean".
797
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,840
But I tried to prove it.
798
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,040
Now talk about the Oregon Project
I'm almost embarrassed...
799
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:23,080
...because in general I have
there were no negative experiences.
800
00:53:23,240 --> 00:53:26,680
When things were going well, everything was
great, I've achieved a lot.
801
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,880
Canadian 10K record.
802
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:36,520
But I'm always tied up and tainted
participation in the Project.
803
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:43,680
I will always be asked questions
about this, alas, it just happened.
804
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:48,120
I know I didn't cheat and never have
I wouldn't, and that's enough for me.
805
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,960
I'm Chris Derrick
professional runner.
806
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,960
I run for the Bowerman club
sponsored by Nike.
807
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,960
Nike is also my personal sponsor.
808
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:08,240
In the last 20 years we are far away
made progress in doping tests.
809
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,680
You must nominate
an hour's interval when you definitely...
810
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,960
...will be where you indicate.
811
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,280
For most people
this morning at their house.
812
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:19,760
-Every day?
-Yes.
813
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,920
If you are out shopping,
and they came to you and called you...
814
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,320
...you must come and get tested.
815
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:33,840
My opinion about substances from the "gray
zones": probably many help.
816
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,040
What excites me as an athlete?
817
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:41,240
Someone has an inhaler. I don't think:
"I can't beat him today."
818
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,800
I care
is he taking EPO?
819
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,680
Will he be caught? Maybe
anyone taking testosterone?
820
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,160
Will he be caught?
821
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,160
I want more energy
invested...
822
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,240
...to improve testing
to these substances.
823
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,200
After all, a lot depends on this.
824
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,520
This is a typical crisis
in athletics.
825
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:09,240
We are indignant at the one who
acts on the edge of what is acceptable.
826
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,240
You're about to destroy
Alberto Salazar.
827
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,440
For something so difficult...
828
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,480
...that I don't understand half of it
arguments against him.
829
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:25,640
Kiprop was kicked out for using EPO,
the worst of crimes...
830
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,960
...in the world of long distances,
and they didn’t even take away his medals.
831
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:30,920
Sorry, but what the fuck?
832
00:55:36,240 --> 00:55:39,800
If anyone ever finds out
evidence...
833
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:46,800
...that Salazar used
prohibited substances...
834
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:52,640
...in a way that violates the rules,
I'll be amazed.
835
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,720
Doping is a strategy of those
who doesn't give it his all.
836
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,040
Those who plow 100 percent
different mood.
837
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,680
They go to success within the system.
838
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:09,800
Salazar's way of compensating
a runner's shortcomings are suicide.
839
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,880
He doesn't look for easy ways.
He's not one of those.
840
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,640
It seems to me psychologically
impossible...
841
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,400
...that he would choose this path.
842
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,200
Salazar used
all available means...
843
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:34,440
...fought for every second
from their athletes.
844
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:38,200
It doesn't exist on its own
doesn't come from anywhere.
845
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,720
This is the perfect expression
Nike corporate culture...
846
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,520
...in which he exists.
847
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,680
There are examples that are not related in any way
with Alberto Salazar...
848
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,280
...exactly similar.
Let's say Nike introduces...
849
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,120
...sneakers with carbon fiber.
850
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:56,840
Or sends the entire laboratory
run a two-hour marathon.
851
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:05,440
Many in sports are very critical
refer to Nike's influence.
852
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,320
But Nike pays for this influence.
853
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,120
Their importance cannot be underestimated.
854
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,240
Sometimes they seem like bullies or
healthy gorillas...
855
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,040
But without them nothing would have happened.
856
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,200
It's hard to imagine the world of running
without Nike.
857
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:28,160
They invest more in running
money than anyone else.
858
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,440
I ran for the Nike Nationals as a kid.
Now it's Nike Cross Nationals.
859
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,760
This is a big gathering
300 high school students.
860
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,560
Nike is taking on a big deal
it's not just the top 20 in the country.
861
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,040
Seventh participant of the 18th best
teams in the country...
862
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,240
...feels like a rock star there.
863
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:51,120
Everything is on the level. This is elite
and a worthwhile event.
864
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,600
This doesn't happen often in the US.
865
00:57:54,760 --> 00:58:00,640
Nike's contribution is exceptional because
they are dedicated to athletics.
866
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:05,520
-Do you regret the contract with Nike?
- Not at all.
867
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,760
Although Nike are masters of marketing...
868
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:12,960
...and sometimes they use this power
for good.
869
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:18,760
Nike tried to overcome
2 hour barrier at the marathon.
870
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:25,120
They invested millions in 2017
dollars to try...
871
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,920
...help the fastest marathon runner,
Eliud Kipchoge...
872
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:29,920
...Olympiad champion, Kenyan...
873
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:34,960
...run 42 km
at the Formula 1 site.
874
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:36,640
NIKE ADVERTISING, 2017
875
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:41,080
It's amazing how they can help
money, and in this project...
876
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:45,000
...they only have 26 seconds left
2 hours before the marathon.
877
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:51,680
At least they do that. Nike at least
not indifferent to the success of sports.
878
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,880
I don't know how I will survive
professional running without them.
879
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,400
Nike not only invests in athletes,
they force others...
880
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,840
...their competitors,
invest too.
881
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:09,360
They love to push boundaries.
Check what they are capable of.
882
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,200
Nike has become a marketing monster.
883
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,240
They're making new sneakers
with new soles...
884
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,320
...which no one expected.
885
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:21,280
They are now undermining the sport.
886
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:26,520
International dispute flares up
because of $280 sneakers.
887
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:28,440
"Nike Vaporfly".
888
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,160
They turned the shoe store over
industry, Nike says...
889
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,080
...what do these sneakers give a runner
4 percent advantage.
890
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:41,080
The most controversial story
in sports science over these 5 years...
891
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:44,960
...these are Nike Vaporfly sneakers,
they revolutionized the sports world.
892
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,120
And completely changed our view
for running shoes.
893
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,720
You see, they have
very thick sole.
894
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,680
Three years ago this was not the case.
895
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:56,840
Sneakers were made for speed
as little as possible.
896
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,440
To run as if wearing a sock.
897
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,640
The thickness of this sole is
four centimeters.
898
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:07,160
Nike invented a new one
especially springy material.
899
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:08,960
It returns a lot of energy.
900
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,480
They inserted it inside
carbon fiber layer.
901
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,120
The thicker the sole, the more
it saves energy. If you squeeze...
902
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,240
...and then step up,
this energy is released.
903
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,000
The sole should be thicker.
904
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,720
This changed everything.
905
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,640
They didn't break the rules
making fast sneakers.
906
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,200
Their scientists are not working in vain.
907
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,000
They gave the athletes
the best technology.
908
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:36,120
But the consequences for sports
reduction of time...
909
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:41,120
...all over the world in races, -
I've never seen anything like this before.
910
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:46,440
Brigitte Kosgei will beat
world record in marathon.
911
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:52,120
For the first time in history a resident of Uganda
became the 10 km world champion.
912
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,120
The incredible Sifan Hassan.
913
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:59,000
Brilliant time! So far this
the best result of this year.
914
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:04,480
The problem of availability of new
technologies always appear
915
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:09,160
Of course, innovative Nike shoes
brought her to the fore again.
916
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:13,800
Were worried that access to shoes
only those who run for Nike will receive it.
917
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:18,240
Who does Nike sponsor? As a result
the conditions were unfair.
918
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:23,000
The shoes were technological
breakthroughs, but I don’t remember before 2017...
919
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:28,720
...for someone to think that shoes
determines who wins the race.
920
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:33,200
If someone runs faster in Nike
"Vaporfly" or "Alphafly"...
921
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:38,440
...and in second place is someone else
sneakers, is the result fair?
922
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:41,840
Imagine you are running in the sand.
923
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,720
Her foot lands in the sand, she
plenty of time to push.
924
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,920
But the sand absorbs the energy of the push,
and you won't be able to run fast.
925
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:55,240
What happens if the track coverage
slightly deformed...
926
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,640
...and straightens up,
when do you push off?
927
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:02,320
It's cool, people are running
3-4 percent more effective.
928
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,920
They run faster at the same time
oxygen consumption without getting tired.
929
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:10,000
I didn't run in them
but I analyzed the data.
930
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,840
I always thought, "Well, I don't know.
maybe it is."
931
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,320
“It seems that they write here that this is so.”
But then we checked.
932
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:21,400
It turned out that the sneakers are average
2.7 percent more economical.
933
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,600
And I thought, "God, this is true."
934
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,160
Looks like the spirit of Nike -
victory at any cost, right?
935
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:32,680
If you win with super shoes,
which others don't have, is that normal?
936
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:40,760
I'll tell you about the qualifying marathon
2016 in Los Angeles.
937
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:47,800
I was there as usual.
I watched the athletes warm up.
938
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:52,440
Galen Rapp ran his first
qualifying Olympic marathon.
939
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,600
I looked at him
on his sneakers, and thought...
940
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,400
“Damn, he’s so self-confident.
941
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,760
I put on my training shoes."
942
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,840
They were big, thick,
soft sole.
943
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:06,920
No one wore these to the selection.
944
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:11,640
Shoes should be thin and narrow
and as light as possible.
945
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:17,520
We had no idea what Galen was up to
then he ran for another two or three years.
946
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:21,560
They didn't know that he and two others
champions of the Rio Olympics...
947
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:27,520
...were wearing sneakers that were
much better than any other shoe.
948
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:34,080
The biggest violation in the world
shoe happened in 2016.
949
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:38,600
In the USA at the Olympic qualifying
marathon and then to Rio.
950
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,960
Nobody knew what this technology was
exists, it was kept secret.
951
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,320
They made a new model
similar to the old one
952
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:50,360
And only their athletes ran in it.
I don't think it's fair.
953
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,320
The rules are now being introduced.
954
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:56,600
But you can't go back and change
Olympic marathon 2016.
955
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,560
It's not fair.
956
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:03,520
Let's say Kara Goucher, fourth.
in the qualifying marathon 2016.
957
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,840
There were two women in front of her
in shoes that no one knew about.
958
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,640
In disguised prototypes
"Vaporfly."
959
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,520
NOT ACCESS TO THE OLYMPICS
BECAUSE OF SHOES
960
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,200
You can't rewrite history
but this is a compelling argument...
961
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,960
...that she had a chance
get on the team.
962
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:23,120
There is a difference between Olympic
national team and fourth place.
963
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,520
I don't know exactly, but it's hundreds of thousands
dollars.
964
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,880
This money would influence
for her entire career.
965
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,520
For decades when she gave
interview as a former runner.
966
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:36,320
Here's Kara Goucher.
She finishes fourth.
967
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:40,280
It was just a little short for the team.
968
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:44,240
I was no longer a Nike athlete
because I opposed...
969
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,520
...my former coach Salazar
and The Oregon Project.
970
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,440
I left Nike, at that moment I
ran for Sketchers.
971
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:56,720
The problem is that in 2016 there were
rules were broken.
972
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,200
According to the rules this should be
available to everyone.
973
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,360
According to the rules, it is forbidden to
shoes gave an advantage...
974
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,680
...to those who don't have it.
975
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,680
I didn't come up with these rules
I just did them.
976
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:13,560
And these shoes broke the rules.
977
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:17,120
In March 2017, a whole year later,
we learned about sneakers.
978
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:18,840
They have already been used in racing.
979
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,240
Took first place
at the Olympic marathon.
980
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,560
All three winners
were in prototypes.
981
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:27,320
Jared Ward was sixth.
He didn't have these sneakers.
982
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:32,120
Who knows where he would have been
with this technology.
983
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,640
It was exactly the same in my career.
Everything is easier, easier...
984
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,440
...how easy it can be
shoes that can last a marathon?
985
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:41,560
I didn't know about other people's shoes.
986
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:46,040
I didn't look at the Nike athletes' feet
and didn’t think: “Oh, unusual shoes.”
987
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:50,760
Shoe manufacturers give
prototypes...
988
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:55,080
...to its elite athletes
for the sake of advertising.
989
01:05:55,240 --> 01:06:01,560
This is not a unique case
but this time it was a little different.
990
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:03,120
RIO 2016
991
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:07,360
Do you think that then
did they have an advantage?
992
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:11,360
Well, looking back,
I feel something like that.

NIKE HONORS THE SPIRIT
RULES OF ATHLETICS

01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:23,040
THERE WERE NO RULES
VIOLATED" FEBRUARY 18, 2021
996
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,640
The whole story with shoes
leaves an unpleasant aftertaste.
997
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,640
After all, sport is history.
998
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,080
Comparison of achievements
different generations.
999
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:37,680
When a thing is produced,
helping you make a breakthrough...
1000
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,360
...of course, the authorities, the World
athletics federation...
1001
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:45,080
...should study it and say:
"Stop. This needs to be reconsidered."
1002
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:50,920
After Vaporfly's presentation
Nike developed new models.
1003
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,240
They were getting thicker
everything is faster.
1004
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:58,120
It seemed impossible to win
without new Nike sneakers.
1005
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:04,680
At the qualifying marathon 2020
Nike debuted Alphafly...
1006
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,360
...the newest, thickest
and crazy sneakers.
1007
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,720
But as far as possible
increase thickness?
1008
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:14,280
The Athletics Federation has established
rules on sole thickness.
1009
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,920
A new rule has been introduced:
maximum thickness - 40 mm.
1010
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:22,760
But attention! Official
Alphafly measurement - 39.5 mm.
1011
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:27,240
Amazing luck
apparently.
1012
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:31,920
New 0.5mm limit
taller than Nike's Alphafly.
1013
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:33,680
And these shoes are legal.
1014
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,800
A resolution was issued according to which,
what's funny is that these shoes are legal...
1015
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:42,480
...almost down to a millimeter.
And everything is fine again.
1016
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,840
And although everything is not alright,
but it's too late. Records have been broken.
1017
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:47,800
Records were broken
almost every week.
1018
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:52,480
We all took part in these
Guessing games What will the norm be?
1019
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:56,000
When they announced 40,
and the next day...
1020
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,720
...I found out that Alphafly is 39.5,
I thought...
1021
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:04,200
"Is this a coincidence?
Or what's going on here?"
1022
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,200
But it's impossible to hide the stench.
1023
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:12,400
We live among conspiracy theories and
There is always a question: was there an insider?
1024
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:16,520
Was there any lobbying?
The correlation is interesting.
1025
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,640
This is either an amazing coincidence...
1026
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:26,880
...or collusion.
We'll probably never know.

1033
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:50,560
Brilliant marketing move by Nike.
1034
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:52,640
They solved the problem of accessibility.
1035
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:56,160
They just brought a truckload of sneakers
and offered to distribute them...
1036
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,680
...to everyone who wants to.
1037
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,080
At the start everyone saw
who is wearing what?
1038
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:10,360
There was no point in raising the alarm
declare...
1039
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,760
"Hey, let's reconsider the rules!"
1040
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:23,360
More than 70% of athletes ran
in new Nike sneakers.
1041
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,680
Galen Rapp did it in Atlanta!
Tokyo is waiting for him!
1042
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:35,320
Riley and Abdi Abdirahman are coming!
These are the results!
1043
01:09:35,480 --> 01:09:39,280
Riley's personal record
under these conditions.
1044
01:09:39,440 --> 01:09:43,280
Why did you choose Nike shoes then?
and not the other one?
1045
01:09:43,440 --> 01:09:44,800
It was given for free.
1046
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:49,400
At the qualifying marathon they
They gave Alphafly for free.
1047
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:52,400
They had a reputation for being the best
in terms of technology.
1048
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,000
Besides, they were given away just like that.
Why not?
1049
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:04,000
Without these sneakers you would be in trouble
to the Olympic team?
1050
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:09,640
It's a difficult question. Well... I don't know.
1051
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:15,760
It's easy to say that I would be the same
successful, but I don't know.
1052
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:20,440
In my opinion, the influence
These sneakers are huge.
1053
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:24,160
They were called
technological doping.
1054
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:29,600
The general attitude is: if something
It is not directly prohibited, it is allowed.
1055
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:35,200
People are looking all the time
little loopholes...
1056
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:40,400
...in the rules, they somehow bypass them,
to gain an advantage.
1057
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,600
We saw this recently
with golf clubs.
1058
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,600
They had to increase the margins
and change a lot.
1059
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:49,080
New tennis rackets.
1060
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:53,320
This is seen in sports such as
aero bike, clap skate.
1061
01:10:53,480 --> 01:10:56,280
Swimsuits,
and now running shoes.
1062
01:10:56,440 --> 01:10:58,800
What do aero bikes do?
Increase efficiency.
1063
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,480
What does a clap skate do?
Increases efficiency.
1064
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,600
What does a swim suit do?
Increases efficiency.
1065
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:08,160
And these sneakers raise
"running economy"
1066
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:15,920
In many sports, be it
Formula 1, NASCAR, golf, baseball...
1067
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:20,720
...croquet or athletics,
rules have been introduced...
1068
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:25,800
...limiting technologies
for fair competition.
1069
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,320
To the records taken
in Nike shoes, admitted...
1070
01:11:29,480 --> 01:11:31,160
...must follow the rules.
1071
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:36,480
Time is decreasing.
It is no longer possible to compare with the past.
1072
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,120
You can't even compare
different athletes.
1073
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:43,320
I find this very sad.
We no longer know what we see.
1074
01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:47,440
We're not sure we see victory
best athlete.
1075
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,760
The world is going through a revolution.
1076
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,680
People putting on shoes
for 250 dollars...
1077
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:02,920
...and beat their records by 2 minutes.
1078
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:09,760
This is much more outrageous
than what Salazar was accused of.
1079
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:13,000
You buy sneakers from
carbon fiber...
1080
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:18,720
...and suddenly you set a record,
unthinkable just 2 years ago.
1081
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:25,440
We are arguing over a person who
creeping up...
1082
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:27,800
...to the line we've drawn.
1083
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,240
And we don't notice those...
1084
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:33,920
...who uses special shoes
and jumps over this line.
1085
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,680
Salazar decided to be
ruthless coach.
1086
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:44,760
Many people think that this is not possible.
You can't be ruthless.
1087
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:49,360
But we're arguing now
because of this gray area.
1088
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:59,840
Alberto can be considered
the embodiment of Nike principles.
1089
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:07,120
He became the face of Nike almost at the beginning
company history.
1090
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:12,400
Although initially Salazar's mission
was to revive running in the USA...
1091
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,840
...Nike's mission coincided with his goal,
but also Nike wanted...
1092
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:17,840
"To become the main company in the world."
1093
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:19,480
DOUBLE THE COURAGE
DOUBLE YOUR FAME
1094
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,000
Nike's motto is victory at any cost.
1095
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,760
Second place is the first loser.
1096
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:29,560
Sure, Nike does a lot of good
I made it for sport, just...
1097
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,480
...where is their moral compass?
1098
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:42,960
I can't understand why Nike
so clings to Alberto.
1099
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:47,160
Over the years we have seen
how they smashed...
1100
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:50,280
...other people
convicted of doping.
1101
01:13:50,440 --> 01:13:54,280
Remember Lance Armstrong
how long did they protect him?
1102
01:13:54,440 --> 01:14:00,720
It's very interesting
and I don't quite understand...
1103
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:04,120
...what kind of relationship is this.
But apparently it's a strong connection.
1104
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:10,680
Nike supported Alberto
for a number of good reasons.
1105
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:16,760
They believed that USADA was unfair
Alberto accuses.
1106
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:22,600
They believed that Alberto
important to the Nike brand.
1107
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:30,440
Alberto would never tarnish
Phil Knight, Nike.
1108
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:36,480
Nike understands this, they believe him
and are ready to defend to the end.
1109
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:44,760
Nike wants to “whitewash” someone.
And I want to find out the truth.
1110
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,800
It's crazy how much they spent on this
millions of dollars.
1111
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:52,000
5-10 million dollars
for legal expenses.
1112
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:56,280
But I think running is the heart of Nike.
This is Phil Knight.
1113
01:14:56,440 --> 01:14:58,480
This is their spirit, their source.
1114
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,520
You could say
Nike made a big bet.
1115
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:09,160
And every time they thought: "We don't
Let's leave him after everything that happened."
1116
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:10,680
"We're betting on Alberto."
1117
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,680
They made a choice
We bet on Alberto.
1118
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:18,480
Apparently they will go all the way.
1119
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:21,520
I don't know how it will end
Salazar's story.
1120
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,880
He may win his appeal.
May return to sports soon.
1121
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:28,520
Seeing that USADA
did to Salazar...
1122
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:32,360
...you think maybe they've decided
tighten policy.
1123
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,640
When simple is not enough
follow the rules.
1124
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:40,720
We must play honestly
according to that...
1125
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:42,720
...what we want for our children.
1126
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:50,520
These are two completely different worlds.
1127
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:56,680
The elite, more precisely, the top of the elite,
and everyone else.
1128
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,800
The fuss around Salazar
largely due to...
1129
01:15:59,960 --> 01:16:03,640
...that people use ordinary
rules for the world of the elite.
1130
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:09,560
The world of the elite is vicious by default.
1131
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:15,440
Maybe run 240 km a week
so unhealthy...
1132
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:20,520
...that it aggravates many diseases,
which might not appear.
1133
01:16:21,480 --> 01:16:25,320
There is evidence that these drugs
they are being discharged for a reason.
1134
01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:29,440
You and I don't need them,
but we don't run 240 km a week.
1135
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:31,440
These athletes put their bodies...
1136
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,760
...to unheard of loads.
It is unknown what they need.
1137
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,240
It's like we haven't come to terms with the fact
that this is not 1954.
1138
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:42,200
When Roger Bannister
I ran during my lunch break.
1139
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:48,800
These people train all day
and it's terrible.
1140
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:53,360
If you're not ready to cancel your elite
sport, come to terms with the fact...
1141
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:56,040
...that everything will be very difficult.
1142
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:58,560
And they will do what
that you won't like.
1143
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,160
This is the implied contract
with Nike.
1144
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,440
They associated their brand...
1145
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,720
...with the maximum possible
results.
1146
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:14,400
Which NBA stars do they sponsor?
LeBron James.
1147
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:17,200
And this is not without reason.
1148
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:20,000
It's true that Tiger Woods
gave a lot for the victory? Yes.
1149
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,160
And Michael Jordan? Same.
1150
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:25,000
No one is forced to prison
contract with Nike.
1151
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:29,240
If you need something else,
you have other options.
1152
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:36,800
About Nike and the Oregon Project
I will always ask myself...
1153
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:41,200
When I'm incredibly lucky
become a world class runner...
1154
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:45,480
...and at 21 I graduated from college,
if they called me...
1155
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:48,640
...to the Nike Oregon project,
Would I agree?
1156
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:52,280
I will always think about this.
1157
01:17:52,440 --> 01:17:54,400
Yes. I'd like to at least try.
1158
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,880
But I'd like to think that I would definitely
I knew what I was signing up for.
1159
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:15,320
BOTH NIKE AND ALBERTO SALAZAR
REFUSED
1160
01:18:15,480 --> 01:18:19,160
GO FOR THIS FILM.
1161
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:23,200
NIKE ANSWERED THAT THIS IS THE WORK
"SUPPORTS A FALSE MYTH"
1162
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,040
AND WHAT NIKE "WILL CONTINUE
PROTECT ALBERTO
1163
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,440
AND DEMAND FOR HIM
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS,
1164
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:34,040
RIGHT TO WHICH
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE"
1165
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:26,840
