Background reading:

• Dozens of Russian athletes at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi were part of a state-run doping program, meticulously planned for years to ensure Russia’s dominance at its home Games.

• A review of “Icarus,” a documentary about Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov, who led Russia’s antidoping laboratory for Olympic athletes.

• Russia isn’t supposed to be at these Olympic Games, yet the country’s nationalist fervor is very present.
