Russian doping whistleblower reveals country plotted his suicide to stop him from telling the truth to world

Russian whistleblower Grigory Rodchenkov, who helped orchestrate the country's state-sponsored Olympic doping programme, says he fled his homeland because he feared for his life and his family's safety. "Two days before I fled, a friend within the government warned me that Russia was planning my 'suicide'. I thought that my family might be safer with me gone and, if I were to die, at least I would get to tell the truth to the world first," said Rodchenkov, the former director of Russia's anti-doping lab that oversaw drug testing at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
