Documentary about the US women's swim team's determination to defeat the doped East German in the last relay race at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Interesting not to hear an apology from a single interviewed member of the E. German team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFsC5gcM5qI …

Yes, the East German women were victims of the Stasi and their government's unethical experiments. But as "Surly Shirley" Babashoff says in this 2016 interview, it was still cheating, and the IOC needs to make it right.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPEkYZaGzyk …

Another interesting doc. on E. German doping scandal, the full scope of which was only revealed when Berlin Wall fell in 1989. Also features former shot-putter Andreas (nee Heidi) Kreiger, who suffered lifelong medical damage from doping with testosterone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs6-vhBj2pE …

Andreas doesn't disavow his former life as Heidi; he understands the damage done to her (and her reputation). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQhUjaiveAg …
