Vitaly Stepanov, Yuliya Stepanova and Travis Tygart take a question from Prof. Roger Pielke at Tuesday's SGS lecture series.
BOULDER — Former Russian athlete Yuliya Stepanova and her husband, Vitaly Stepanov — called by some the most important whistleblowers in the history of anti-doping — were surprise speakers Tuesday night at the University of Colorado's Sports Governance Center's Distinguished Lecture series.
The two appeared with scheduled speaker Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, in the Petry and Harrington Family Auditorium at the CU Champions Center before a full house.
Tygart's topic, "Foxes In the Henhouse: From the Russian Doping Scandal to Global Anti-Doping Reform" tied directly to his special guests.
