Match-Fixing, the Oligarch, and the Ivy League

EPISODE 121: Inside the most corrupt sport at the Olympics.

Full disclosure: I feel this way all the time, but I feel especially obligated to say it here.

I sincerely hope you can watch this episode.

Because we spent weeks tumbling down the rabbit hole of a global match-fixing scandal that’s quietly tearing apart the U.S. Olympic fencing team, ahead of their trip to Paris this month.

And we investigate how it all connects to a spiraling refereeing crisis that takes us from Star Wars, to Harvard and Princeton, to the very top of the International Olympic Committee — and Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

Where one of the world’s 100 richest people, Alisher Usmanov, has allegedly exported a culture of bribery and corruption that’s scared pretty much everybody in sabre fencing away from talking, on the record…

Until now.

DKN/YOUTUBE SPOILER ALERT:
