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.

'Others need to do more' says London Marathon chief

The London Marathon chief executive says his organisation is doing "more than anyone else" to ensure athletes are not doping.

Nick Bitel was speaking to ITV News about allegations made by the Sunday Times about drug test data from 2001 to 2012.

We're at the forefront of the battle against doping in our sport, the first people to call for blood tests and the only ones to blood test every single elite athlete.

We've done our part. What this shows is that others need to do more. This has to be a concerted effort but we're not the disciplining authorities.

What people need to know is that when an athlete comes to the London Marathon we are doing more than anybody else to make sure that athlete is clean and we will continue to do so and if there's more to be done then we will do more.
