Television's First Great Lifter
ABC's Wide World of Sports have brought us 45 years of unforgettable moments (1961 to 2006), and Vasilily Alekseyev was the first and the greatest television weightlifting ever, in the 1970s he brought weightlifting to American television viewers thanks to Wide World of Sports, weightlifting on a regular TV basis ended with Wide World's final weightlifting event in 1996. But Vasiliy brought weightlifting true maximum power exposure, and that's also why in 1975 he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, an american sports magazine. 14:47 June 29 Joey Chesnavich

Vasily Alekseyev said that he was warming up and the Soviet coach gave him some re-hydration drink that was not re-hydration drink but something toxic to performance. Do you think it's true? We're the coaches bribed to give him a glass of toxic liquid to keep him from making his lifts? What was the liquid? Alcohol? Something else? Look what he said in this documentary.
