very nice. The "dual thinking" in Icarus has been mentioned several times. 1. Bryan, who wanted to use drugs in the game, and Grigory, who helped Russia use banned drugs for a long time, became whistleblowers for some reason. Grigory is a very interesting person, it is difficult to associate him with the drug promoters. 2. From a political point of view, the timing and reasons of Bryan and Grigory's contact with the series of things that happened later are indeed a bit too coincidental. It is hard to say that there is nothing tricky behind this. I personally think that the phenomenon of athletes using banned drugs exists in many countries. This time Russia was sanctioned by the more discourse-powered U.S. because of its own serious mistakes. But I don't know the truth of the matter. Including this movie becoming the best documentary at the Oscar, there are also certain political reasons. 3. One interesting thing is that when drug prohibition becomes the choice of too many athletes, the moral discussion about it weakens. 4. Grigory is really difficult to do in this matter. Putin asks you to do this, you have to do it, but if something goes wrong, you may even kill you if you say it. You flee to the United States, report and expose, Russia will definitely not Will admit that even if all the evidence is confirmed, Russia will put the hat on your head. Looking back at the whole incident, two things surprised me the most. One was the inexplicable encounter between Bryan and Grigory, the little-known little biker who loves cycling as mentioned earlier. How much risk Grigory had to pay for Bryan. And the time is really coincidental. The second is that I can't figure out how, how did Russia let Grigory escape to the United States, I really can't figure out how. That's Russia. It's really outrageous. I can already imagine that if this happened in a certain country, it would be unlikely to happen.
