Drugs in UK sports....

June 2013: IOC say no knowledge of corrupt lab.
Evidence provided to them.

Nov 2015: IOC shocked at corruption.

Also you'd have to ask how serious sport really is about tackling doping when WADA annual budget is $30m, despite the billions sports industry makes

IAAF president Lamine Diack believes disgraced American sprinter Marion Jones will be remembered as "one of the biggest frauds in sporting history".
The American admitted taking steroids ahead of the Sydney Olympics where she won five medals, three of them gold.

"A lot of people believed in her achievements and this confession leaves a very bitter taste," Diack said.

"It is a tragedy, and I am glad she is aware of the damage that her actions have caused."

Lamine Diack, ex-head of the IAAF, is being investigated over allegations he took payments for deferring sanctions against Russian drugs cheats.

French prosecutors - acting on information supplied by the World Anti Doping Authority - suspect Senegalese Diack, 82, of receiving money in 2011.

The IAAF's new president Lord Coe was questioned by French police on Tuesday, having offered to co-operate.

Athletics' world governing body says it is "fully co-operating" with inquiries.

It confirmed police had carried out searches and interviews at its Monaco headquarters.

I would be very suspicious of Coe. Lot of things don't add up.
