Mo Farah leads athletes who want anti-doping results made public

Mo Farah is one of eight British athletes who want their anti-doping blood test results published to prove they are not cheats.

It comes after The Sunday Times claimed it had seen a database suggesting at least 800 athletes had "suspicious" results which were not followed up by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).

The newspaper has also reported that seven London Marathon winners in a 12-year period recorded suspicious blood scores.

Ennis-Hill: Possible doping offences must be explored

Jessica Ennis-Hill has called on the IAAF and the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) to address the problem of doping after fresh claims of cheating.
