Paula Radcliffe Denies Doping Allegations
Former British world champion Paula Radcliffe has denied doping allegations.
Mrs Radcliffe released a statement today, 8 September, denying the accusations after stating she was effectively implicated during a parliamentary committee.
She said: "I categorically deny that I have resorted to cheating in any form whatsoever at any time in my career, and am devastated that my name has even been linked to these wide-ranging accusations.
"Whilst I have the greatest of respect for anyone responsibly trying to uncover cheating in sport, and of course for Parliament itself, it is profoundly disappointing that the cloak of Parliamentary privilege has been used to effectively implicate me, tarnishing my reputation, with full knowledge that I have no recourse against anyone for repeating what has been said at the Committee Hearing."
