Nike's Big Bet plot

"Alberto Salazar and the fine line of sport."

The greatest track and field team ever, the Nike Oregon Project in Portland, Oregon, ceased to exist when their legendary coach Albert Salazar was accused of doping its runners. Despite the many investigations, none of Salazar's athletes ever tested positive, but the USADA anti-doping agency had passed its verdict and a few weeks later, Mark Parker, Nike's CEO, resigned. The documentary tries to reveal the truth and has all parties involved tell their story.
