#Doping Parisotto: "When it comes to fighting doping, athletics is probably around 10-15 years behind when compared to cycling."

Doping, cover-ups, and plenty of Nike money being funneled into the hands of corrupt officials with absolutely no accountability.

Welcome to the New World Order in modern-day athletics.
