THE GOLDEN GIRL- 2020. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Andreea Raducan is a successful 32-year-old woman and one of Romania’s greatest gymnasts. She worked all her life to become an Olympic champion, and when she finally won the all-round Olympic gold medal in Sydney in 2000, she was stripped of it 3 days later, after being found positive for a doping substance found in a flu tablet that her doctor had administered to her just minutes before entering the competition. Fifteen years later, Andreea is fighting the toughest fight against the people who deceived her, as she tries to recover her medal and, along with it, her dignity.”
9/5/20- Just 3 reviews so far– 2 positive and 1 negative. Sounds interesting. TRDB.
