Icarus was interesting because on the face of it it was a cycling enthusiast who wanted to get better at cycling and was happy to indulge in peds.
Is it possible he was also investigating Russia’s connection to peds anyway. That Russian wada guy was awesome. But his life got turned upside down
Light_EDDed-
I found the presentation of Icarus slightly disingenuous (i.e. surely they must have had an agreement from the very start that the Russian chap would be involved as a potential route out of a sticky situation for him - what other reason could there be for him cheerfully dispensing illegal doping advice to a journo) but that aside it still made for great television!

The more pertinent question might be, 'is effectively running, and keeping secret, a doping programme prohibitively expensive, and what is the risk/reward balance?'
