    As title says, seems to be based around the german olympic team of the 70s and 80s, might talk about present day events later in programme.

    Just as an aside, the directors brother featured in the film (Professional Wrestler 'Mad Dog' Mike Bell) died last year after the film was released.

    It's my favorite documentary ever. It's like a mix of 'Supersize Me' and a Micheal Moore doc. Very entertaining and informative.

    It's good, but he never mentioned the fact that people like Mark McGwire weren't actually cheating when they were on drugs, I thought that he'd do that. He also cost Christian Boeving his job and he seems to be very bitter about steroids in general for some reason. Good overall though.
