whispers. some accusations about doping. some of it subtle, some not. for example, john leonard, a top u.s. coach, called the performance suspicious and "not right." but ioc spokesman mark adams says the top five finishers of every event are tested to ensure clean wins. and ye was no different. >> suffice to say in this case, pure rumors, nothing at all of fact or substance, and i have heard no word at all from our drugs testing people. so i think people should really sit back and enjoy a great performance. >> wata, the world anti-doping agency and the ioc, they keep a close eye on drug use. athletes can be tested any time during the games, and their samples are sent to this lab. in east london, it's kept open 24 hours a day during the olympics. has a staff of 150 scientists. so with all the intense scrutiny, can you still game the system? victor conte says yes, and after all he did. he helped top athletes obtain steroids and went to prison for it. he says it's just as easy today as it was ten years ago. he now advocates for a clean competition. mr. conte, welcome to the program. really appreciate you being on. as you know, sir, there is zero evidence that the young chinese swimmer cheated, took any performance enhancing drugs. she tested clean, as you heard. is there any reason we shouldn't believe that? >> the climate over the olympic games because of what happened in the last decade regarding the rampant use of drugs brings suspicion. it's not fair to her, but i think it's important to understand that while they're doing some projected 6,000 tests here at the olympic game, that doesn't tell us what the athlete was doing as much as nine months ago. the october/november/december time frame typically is when olympic athletes use anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing drugs to build the explosive power and speed base that serves them months later at the olympic games. it would possibly be easy for an athlete to do an injection of epo and already is a significantly elevated hematacrit or increased red blood vessel and that clears in less than a day. the benefits would carry over throughout the two weeks of the olympic competition. to show up at the games and get a positive drug test, that's more of an i.q. test than it is a drug test. they've used these drugs long before, have been benefiting for months and months before they get there. i think there needs to be a reallocation of funding that's available to fight the use of peds and use that for available funds and testing needs to be done long before they get to the london games. >> and to be clear, you're talking about peds, performance enhancing drugs, and people using them before the games as part of their training regimen. you obviously made a name for yourself by helping top athletes, including olympians, to do this, to cheat essentially. when you were trying to beat the system on behalf of your athletes, was that your strategy? >> well, that's when the athletes were using the drugs. not so much at and during the competition, but months ahead of time. >> one thing that comes up, and you know, if you think about this, even in the pregame time period, there is this issue of timing. for example, to be in the olympics, top swimmers have to submit to a schedule offering an hour every day when they can be tested. again, i'm not talking about during the games. i'm talking about pregames. every day they have to be available for that test. if the testers can't find them, they actually -- it's like they failed the test. that seems like pretty close scrutiny, mr. conte. wouldn't you agree? >> they're allowed to have two missed tests, and the third missed test is the same as a positive drug test. so this is not transparent. so they are allowed to have missed tests. so they can miss a couple of test and be using drugs and then show up and no one knows they've had two missed tests and win a gold medal. so there are drugs like fast-acting testosterone, will be back within the allow you can't believe limit within 24 hours. you can do an injection of epo which will help to maintain the level that you've built up in what they call the corrective pha phase. during the maintenance phase, benefits will last ten days, two weeks. they could do an injection of epo after they've already built up their red blood cell count. that will carry them over through the entire game. it's relatively easy to beat the testing is what i'm trying to say. >> mr. victor conte, obviously you heard from the ioc representative, as well. we appreciate your comments. and we may have you back on as we get more details. i really appreciate your time. >> thank youmuch for having me. as we roll on in the olympics, i want to show what the athletes went through to get here. it's not just blood, sweat, and tears. at least for the u.s. team, high technology also plays a big role. michael phelps was the big name in the 100-meter butterfly. one of his toughest opponents was fellow american tyler mcgill. he knew to beat phelps he would need to improve his underwater kick. >> this is me here. as you see, i'm in the air, and michael along with everybody else is still on the block. and so my reaction is ahead of everybody else's at this point. and i have a lead. you'll notice that everyone has -- has caught up by the time we reach the 15-meter mark. >> the breakout portion of his race as compared to michael, who is coming out at a little bit faster time, move over here to the 15-meter mark, to the 35-meter mark, he's at 11.3, 11.2, michael at 10 .9. in swimming it's big time. >> mcgill came up shy of a medal. phelps won gold. bmw has taken video analysis to the next level. adopting its expertise in designing high-performance cars and applying it to swimming. >> kicking underwater has become one of the most important parts of swimming. it's faster than on top of the water. but you really don't know why they go so fast or why you go faster than them. this technology, adding numbers, adding equations to this will help us evolve as swimmers. >> ricky barons is sparchlti ieg with the new technology. marking six points where the body bends on the swimmer -- the wrist, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, and toe. the software connects the dots. >> we have the kick frequency. we have the kick depth. we have the kick rate. this is really going to help usa swimming to help determine what makes a great dolphin kick. >> what swimmers wear affects their aerodynamics. and this year, it's evolved even more. >> the more fabric you can put on the human body, the faster it's going to be. the whole idea from a fluid dynamic perspective is to keep the body as uniform as possible. kind of like a torpedo. >> incidentally, the same goes for track and field athletes. >> we added texture to the suit to make it faster. so if you look really close, there's dimensions to it, texture to it. so it turns out smooth, does not equal fast. shaves off 0.023 seconds. this is not just a difference between first and second place. this is the difference of being on a podium or not. >> we've got more olympics ahead. we're going to meet the swim champion who needed heart surgery just to make it to london. bthursday.led up on a the perfect use of the 7th inning stretch. get that great taste anytime with kingsford match light charcoal.

>> yeah. we have one planned for the end of august. we have a big box, big computer power switching unit outside that we're going to switch out. and also run some cables from the u.s. segment back to the russian segment to provide power for a module they'll put up in the future. the only big thing is where that big emu or space suit that you saw up front and close, that's still hard to work in, and that's why we work out pretty much a lot, every day, while we're here up on the space station to make sure we're physically ready to do the spacewalk. >> that's a perfect transition, being physically ready. you and i also have decided to do this triathlon together in september in malibu. you're going to do it in space. i'm going to do it on earth. it was one of the most fascinating things for me to watch you train on earth. and you've done the boston marathon from space, i believe, back in 2007. how is your training going? >> the adeptation is great for space. up here, everything feels a little bit easier. but then when you start simulating gravity, and you have a harness pulling you down, or on the weight lifting machine and you're doing squats and dead lifts against a weight based on vacuum, it hurts. so this first two weeks, we've sort of used as a just get used to the equipment, get used to the p the protocols that we're doing. i think we're ready to start building on it. so just watch out because now i'm ready to really start preparing for the triathlon. and watching the olympics up here has been really motivating to turn us all into good athletes. >> i also visited the food lab when i was with you. and i think people imagine that food in outer space to be pretty bland. how is it going for you up there? are you getting the food that you want? >> it gets a little tiring drinking your coffee out of a bag, but i'll enjoy my cup of coffee when i get home. six months is a small price to pay not enjoying that coffee in the morning sitting out on the porch. >> thank you so much for joining us. sunita, i am looking forward to do the triathlon when you get back. >> thanks. see you out on the road there. a lot of the triathletes i know are also coffee drinkers like suni. so for us here on earth, i decided to take you behind the scenes of an organic coffee plantation. just how healthy is that morning cup of coffee?

we came to the right place to answer this question, and i'm going to ask the right guy as well. come with me. what you're looking at is an organic coffee farm. you're hearing it as well. in fact, it's the highest coffee farm in all of hawaii. and the guy who founded it is right here, trent payton. >> aloha. >> thank you for having us. organic coffee. what does that mean? >> well, first, you can't use pesticides, herbicides. if you do use fertilizer, it has to be fertilizer as well. >> they look like fruit. >> this coffee comes from the flower. and then it becomes a fruit, just like citrus. it goes green. and you grow to color. and i'm going to squeeze this and pop out the two beans. >> so these are cully what the coffee -- that's how it starts? >> two coffee beans and a cherry. we call it coffee cherry. >> one of the things i hear, triathletes and others alike, is that coffee can be healthy in moderate doses. >> in moderation, yeah. the studies have shown that if you drink too much coffee, it can be not be good for your heart. but two cups a day is good for your heart. >> and there are specific things in the beans themselves but also the skin. i've heard about chromium, magnesium being helpful for people with diabetes. but what is it about the skins even that can be of such value? >> anti-oxidants. radical absorption capabilities. it's over 700 units per gram, which is about nine times higher than blueberries. there are acids in it which are also anti-oxidants. so it's become the new hawaii super fruit. >> and this is all hand picked as well, right? >> everything in kona is hand picked, one-by-one. >> you really dry the -- >> we are drying the coffee in the sun. it's all sun dried. the sun actually puts some of the essence into the beans to make the very best coffee. >> how long does that take? >> about three days in the sun. once it's dry, we bring it to this facility here, which is a dry mill line. all of it goes into the hopper here. the hopper starts the conveying of the line. goes into the huller. it peels the skin. it goes onto the sizer and density classifier. so the coffee here is a lower grault than the coffee here. see? >> yeah. >> and then it's on its way to the color sorter, then off to the roaster, and then off to the fresh cup of kona coffee. >> and we even got to try some of that coffee, and
