BBC programme that led to the downfall of top US coach Alberto Salazar
It was announced today that top US athletics coach Alberto Salazar has been banned for four years for doping violations.
There have been concerns about Salazar for a number of years and a lot of this was exposed in the BBC Panorama documentary 'Catch Me If You Can' in 2015.
The programme also shows easy it is to micro-dose with small amounts of testosterone and still pass the doping tests.... and that's if the athletes are even tested properly at all.
