BOOK SYNOPSIS

When Russian anti-doping official Vitaly Stepanov met the young 800m athlete Yuliya Rusanova, for him it was love at first sight. Within two months they were married. But then should admitted she was doping - and so was everybody else.

The Stepanovs began to realise that whatever you did, the system in Russia was stacked against you. Fully aware of the risks they were taking, they decided to turn the tables on those who had manipulated them and cheated the sporting world.

The result of their investigation led to Russia's athletes being banned from world sport, while the Stepanovs themselves went into hiding. The Russian Affair is a gripping true-life drama, starring a quietly determined couple who brought a corrupt system crashing to the ground.
