Join Thomas as he speaks with Martin Dubbey, a former UK drug liaison officer turned international investigator, whose career spans from narcotics investigations in Customs and Excise to exposing one of the most audacious doping scandals in modern sport.
Martin shares how his transition into private investigation led him to work alongside whistleblower Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov in uncovering the Russian state-sponsored doping programme during the Sochi Olympics, featured in the award-winning Netflix documentary Icarus. He details the forensic methods used to reveal tampered samples, FSB interference, and a doping scheme approved at the highest levels of government.
Together, they explore how international corruption investigations unfold, the geopolitical power plays behind sports, and the looming threats posed by online betting and AI-driven fraud.
Tune in for a compelling look at the murky intersection of sport, politics, and integrity.
