?...a route back for USA Cycling, and perhaps other sports, too. Personal Gold offers a chance to see what an amateur but high-tech and fair approach could look like.? TOM TAYLOR, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED

This is an adrenaline-pumping, revolutionary film of four women cyclist- underdogs who become America’s medal hope at the 2012 London Olympics when top men are banned during the Lance Armstrong drug scandal. The underfunded women turn to a volunteer group of top computer coders and medical researcher Eric Topolin to build a mind-boggling system of ?extreme biometrics,? including headbands that monitor their sleep cycles. They are attempting the totally new approach of ?Data not Doping? while trying the impossible: win the first U.S. women’s bicycling medal in 20 years.
