Estonian sports show 'Spordipühapäev' to examine dark side of doping culture

Estonian sports programme Spordipühapäev will feature a longer interview with Eesti Ekspress journalist Matthias Kalev. Kalev has spent recent years investigating and exposing the shadowy era of doping in Estonian cross-country skiing.

Estonian sports radio and TV programme Spordipühapäev is set to dedicate a special segment to the murky world of doping culture, featuring an in-depth interview with investigative journalist Matthias Kalev from Eesti Ekspress.

Kalev has been one of Estonia's most prominent voices in uncovering the dark chapters of the country's cross-country skiing history. Over the past several years, his reporting has shed considerable light on a period that many in the sport would prefer to leave in the shadows.

The upcoming appearance on Spordipühapäev will give Kalev an opportunity to present his findings to a wider audience and discuss the broader implications of doping culture within Estonian winter sports. His investigative work has previously sparked significant debate about accountability and transparency in the sport.

The programme is expected to explore not only specific cases but also the systemic conditions that allowed doping practices to take root and persist within the Estonian skiing community.
