Filmmaker Bryan Fogel set out to make a documentary about steroid usage in athletics. Fogel, also an amateur cyclist, decides to use performance-enhancing drugs while training for Haute Route to see if he could pass an anti-doping test. Fogel's help originated with the founder of the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory Don Catlin. With the implications of his reputation at stake, Catlin decided his involvement with the experiment would not be a good idea. In his place Grigory Rodchenkov, the head of Russia's anti-doping program, helped to administer the doping system. With the help of Rodchenkov, Fogel began the system with hormone injections and urine samples that would later be used for testing. Read more on Wikipedia.
