"Game of Shadows meets Shoe Dog in this explosive behind-the-scenes look that reveals for the first time the unsettling details of Nike's secret running program-the Nike Oregon Project. In May 2017, journalist Matt Hart received a USB drive containing a single file-a 4.7-megabyte PDF named "Tic Toc, Tic Toc. . . ." He quickly realized he was in possession of a stolen report prepared a year earlier by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) for the Texas Medical Board, part of an investigation into legendary running coach Alberto Salazar, a Houston-based endocrinologist named Dr. Jeffrey Brown, and cheating by Nike-sponsored runners, including some of the world's best athletes. The information Hart received was part of an unfolding story of deception which began when Steve Magness, an assistant to Salazar, broke the omertà-the Mafia-like code of silence about performance-enhancing drugs among those involved-and alerted the USADA. He was soon followed by Olympians Adam and Kara Goucher who risked their careers to become whistleblowers on their former Nike running family in Beaverton, Oregon. Combining sports drama and business exposé, Win at All Costs tells the full story of Nike's running program, uncovering a corporate win-at-all-costs culture"--… (más)

Having already read "The Longest Race" by Kara Goucher, this book felt like a lot of duplication (at least as far as the doping part goes). Sometimes the thread was hard to follow, but the book was a fast read.

I do wish the author had waited a little longer to write the book as the Salazar story was not concluded at the time of publication. He has now received a lifetime ban from coaching (thank goodness). I also would have appreciated specific follow-up about actions taken against the NOP athletes. It appears from a brief search online that none of them were ever found guilty of doping, but that would have been good to explicitly state in the book. ( )
