Fled to US fearing for his safety?

As per https://www.ft.com/content/edbafd98-7193-11e7-aca6-c6bd07df1a3c Rodchenkov fled to US in late 2015 months before suspicious death of high-rank colleagues (like, Kamaev who died in Feb. 2016) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.232.87.234 (talk) 12:19, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Suicide?

There is no legitimate reason to mention alleged suicide attempt in this article or his hospitalization. None. You are all a bunch of Putin puppets. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.116.121.20 (talk) 02:21, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, you are an anti-Putin puppet. As of Rodchenkov: Who could know the grandscheme better than the mastermind himself. Is Rodchenkov jewish?, its a very brilliant move, also very antichristian. 81.173.147.104 (talk) 01:11, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is part of his story. Rodchenkov, like most people, did both good and bad things. He distributed steroids to countless Russian athletes, and the independent McLaren Report confirmed he extorted some of them as well to hide positive drug tests. He crossed the wrong guy (Portugalov), who was probably responsible for getting him arrested. He did commit serious crimes and attempted suicide as a result. Many Russian athletes were unknowningly taking his steroids, including blind weightlifters and people as young as 15. His story is very complex and although he did help blow the whistle on the operation, he still ran Russia’s doping program for a decade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by X2o (talk • contribs) 16:21, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Witness Protection Program

There should be a section about how he is in hiding currently (or at least at the time that the documentary Icarus was released).

Scandalous reputation?

What's the relevance of Putin calling him a man of scandalous reputation? What else would he say? "He's right, we cheated and forced him to be an accessory to it?" --91.67.95.240 (talk) 13:15, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I imagine it was intended as balance - if the article reports his claims, it's fair to also quote the Russian response. Robofish (talk) 21:44, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. There should at least be some context to Putin's quote, and/or clarification to combat any of Putin's possible misstatement(s).

1000

While the article says "The investigation found that from 2011 to 2015, more than 1,000 Russian competitors in various sports (including summer, winter, and Paralympic sports) benefited from the cover-up.[11][12]"

the actual report (https://stillmed.olympic.org/media/Document%20Library/OlympicOrg/IOC/Who-We-Are/Commissions/Disciplinary-Commission/IOC-DC-Schmid/IOC-Disciplinary-Commission-Schmid-Report.pdf) says "the analysis of the objective evidence (especially the EDP) shows that the “almost 1’000” athletes named in the IP’s Reports did not all benefit from the DPM".

this is sort of the opposite statement :) 79.140.149.129 (talk)
