Ain Särg wrote these stories in the early eighties after the Moscow Olympics. Games that were wonderful because there were no cases of doping. In fact, of course, there were, but the doping users were not discovered or did not want to be made public. After such "clean" games, Ain Särg came up with the idea of writing about sports in the style of science fiction, about situations that can be achieved, developing the principle of "a medal at any cost." An Olympic victory preceded by lying and followed by denial is not worthy of a laurel wreath or the status of a hero. Therefore, these stories also reach either the grotesque or the destruction of the physical existence of the liars.
