Doctor who 'doped 140 sports stars' axed from clinic
Culture Secretary John Whittingdale has ordered an inquiry into the UK anti-doping watchdog over allegations it knew a doctor had been prescribing banned performance-enhancing drugs to leading athletes.
According to The Sunday Times, Dr Mark Bonar was secretly filmed describing how he had prescribed the drugs to sports stars including Premier League footballers.
The paper said the publically-funded UK Anti-Doping Agency (Ukad) had been passed information about Dr Bonar's alleged activities two years ago.
Dr Bonar's services at his clinic meanwhile were terminated after it was revealed he does not have a licence to practise medicine in the UK.
