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.

Sports minister calls for unity to prevent doping

Sports Minister Tracey Crouch said they were 'serious allegations' Credit: PA

Sports Minister Tracey Crouch said "everyone involved in sport must work together" following fresh claims of doping by Olympic athletes.

These are serious allegations and it is right they are being referred by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to its Independent Commission for investigation. I know UK Anti-Doping (UKAD), one of the best anti-doping agencies in the world, is also supporting this action, and has made it clear it will assist with WADA's enquiries.

UKAD has worked tirelessly to ensure athletes and sport are clean. But everyone involved in sport must work together to ensure we maintain the spirit of sport and prevent doping.

– Tracey Crouch
