It is the biggest and most under-reported story in the history of sport.
For years, there was "a mafia" at the heart of international athletics. Runners, coaches and officials were coerced, corrupted and forced to pay millions of dollars in bribes.
Events at the Olympics, World Championships, and national contests around the world were arranged.
The thief? The head of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the organization that ran all these events, and some of his top officials.
An exclusive interview with one of the investigators who exposed the criminal extortion scheme at the top of the world of sports.
