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.

Lamine Diack, President of the International Association of Athletics Federation, told Reuters there was "no evidence" anything of the sort had taken place.

"There are allegations made. We want to look into them seriously because to say that in athletics between 2001 and 2012 we did not do a serious job with tests is laughable," he said.

The Sunday Times (£) reported obtaining secret data from the IAAF suggesting more than a third of medals had been won by athletes with "suspicious" blood test results.
