The fact that many of Russia’s athletes have engaged in a ‘little’ doping isn’t a secret – back in May we touched on just how elaborate their doping system had become over the years.

It really is worth giving that a read HERE, if only so you can better understand that video you’re about to watch below.

Now, with Rio 2016 edging ever closer, John Oliver has turned his attention to doping and how authorities intend to fight the scourge.

TIME with this:

Despite the risks, athletes are willing to take the drugs in the hopes of getting a split-second advantage that can be the difference between winning or losing. Oliver argues that winning by any means really matters to the Olympics machine that he considers vulnerable to influence and abuse. “It’s making FIFA look good!” declares an incredulous Oliver…

As the Olympics get closer, Oliver says he has decided to make those sappy athlete profiles a little more honest, offering a new take for those athletes who want to be a little better than God intended.

Take it away John and, as always, don’t hold back.
