Ben Foster starrer makes an equally compelling case of how even “the world’s most tested athlete” got away with cheating for so long.

The Program can be viewed as especially relevant, given that doping in sport is coincidentally, in the news again.

It’s worth one viewing if you haven’t heard about the man, and even if you haven’t. The film has bark, one only wishes it had more bite.

The film ignores Armstrong’s ‘personal’ life twists even as it glorifies his fight with cancer and his efforts to provide financial and moral succor to those combating the disease. Doping though is not that strong a villain here!

…the racing scenes in a film that espouses cycling as the exciting, dynamic, fast-paced sport are dull.
