About the episode

In this episode of Sports Bizarre, Titus and Mick discuss the biggest doping program in the history of sport. It was East Germany's State Plan 14.25, a strategy to turn an entire state into one big doping program to achieve sporting glory. If you’d like more Sports Bizarre, become a member of Bizarre Plus.

The best book on it I found was Faust's Gold: inside the east german doping machine by Steven Ungerleider. It's got some great chapters on how the files on the program were discovered.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
