athletics here have pre—games tested any number of athletes.there will be another 600 done in competition. so athletes know that, and it would be foolish for any athlete to try to cheat. in addition, they will keep samples from london for a period of up to ten years. so if you're so smart that you don't get caught now, the chances are that you will be caught at some date in the future. so i assure you that everything is being done, and you have to hope it will work. that said, i can't sit here and be complacent in any way. this is an argument that has to go on on a day—to—day basis. we have to be smarter and better. and it would also help if we had a bit more money to do it. for me, as a fan of athletics, it's the dope users who pass the tests that are the problem, not the ones who fail the tests, because the technology and the effort, the laboratories we read about, the supplements, the mysterious substances crossing borders in jiffy bags, the effort that is put into not failing the dope tests is where the attention surely needs to be directed

five years after super saturday, the greatest night of british athletics, the best athletes in the worldhad a very major competition, as an athlete you want to feel prepared, ready to compete. with just a few weeks to go before the championships start, greg is faced with one of the toughest decisions of his career. i have not had a season with these kind of injuries since 2007. i tore two ligaments in my left ankle. at that point, i realised my world championships where over. forjess, a new challenge. being a spectator. it will be completely different from you. not only not there as an athlete performing, there as a heavily pregnant spectator. my life could not be more different. i am really looking forward to it. no post i come. london is where it happened, where my life change. when my children were born. i need to do london. i wanted more than any other year and i am excited to be able to complete one must them and hang my spikes up afterwards. the journeys thatjess, mo farah and greg have been on since that unforgettable night in london tell the truth about what it takes to be the be

that blanket ban of their athletes in athletics programmes, there were other russian athletes at rio,neither did they take part in the olympics last year. there has been a reallocation of some of those medals down the years once we became aware of these state—sponsored doping and all those reasonable that were taken and there was a wonderful moment, christina, amongst others, there is wealth athletics champion ships from 2011, 2013, 2015 and the great britain women's four by four 100 relay teams were bumped up to bronze. but doctor silver, they had their moment and all those times when they did not give the medals that they should have done here before the opening ceremony. they got a fantastic round of applause. we're going to seejoe get a medal that she should have got ten years ago in osaka tomorrow. jessica ennis hill on sunday get her gold medal as well. that is a really nice touch. lord coe said it was so important, thatis lord coe said it was so important, that is what athletes missed out on, knowledge is getting their names in the record books, then black—and—white, actually g

only the track and field athletes were banned. the truth is nobody wants to expose doping in sports. why? because it's bad for business. if you're the i.o.c., you don't want audiences to think all these athletes are competing on an uneven level. so, what they really want is spectacular athletic feats supported by doping with a system that looks like they're fighting doping but doesn't catch anyone. this is not in anyone's interests. it is in the interests of audiences and those everywhere who want a level playing field. >> rose: what do you hope the consequence of the film is? >> a couple of thoughts. up with is from a story-telling point, the courage that bryan and his team did by exposing an international incident to be around sports and ended up leading to pretty nasty politics including a country being attacked and people being murdered, and that story, it takes courage to tell that story. this started out with a story about sports and ended up being about the manipulation of politics and that's a story that has to be told and

and it's the world athletics championships in london where we start. real story has been brewing in regards to botswana's issac makwala who was forced to withdraw from the 400 metre final after he was diagnosed with a norovirus bug. we will have more on that shortly. olympic champion wayde van niekerk retained his world title in the olympic stadium, and ben croucher rounds up day five. with the absence making headlines outside the stadium, the south african world recordholder was not at his best in the final. but still more than good enough to breeze through the race. it looked like there was only one winner. the 0lympic there was only one winner. the olympic champion showed his class to become world champion one more time. michaeljohnson was the last. now wayde van niekerk has the chance to do the same. with david rudisha injured, nigel amos was the favourite for the 800 metres. but there was a surprise in store. the frenchman produced the sprint of his life — and looked like he couldn't believe what happened. you have to go back to 1987 when a man bo

for great britain's athletes.cross live to the london stadium, where jessica is cross live to the london stadium, wherejessica is there. what a night! exactly, a night of drama on the track behind me here at the london stadium, and everyone was kind of expecting that golden goodbye for mo farrah and usain bolt, but it was not to be. instead, it was the exploits of four young british men in the four by 100 metres relay that gave sheer joy to in the four by 100 metres relay that gave sheerjoy to the british fans. the quartet put the last run in a great position for the final leg. mitchell blake held off american christian cullen, and the crowd erupted to celebrate a truly fantastic performance. joy for the british men, but it wasn't the end to usain bolt‘s track career that he would have wanted. his final race ended with him crumpled in pain on the track. his career over with eight olympic golds, and three world records. we may never see his like again, but is not the way he would have wa nted again, but is not the

a brilliant athlete.ustin gatlin, the man who divides it, pretty much not straight down the middle because from most quarters here, they feel he got away very likely with his first drugs ban for amphetamines. he claims to have attention deficit disorder, that's where he tested positive then. he got a two—year ban, down to one year, but then was found to have advanced levels of testosterone in his system in tales and six. he was banned for eight years, effectively a lifetime ban, but that was an appeal brought by down to four yea rs. appeal brought by down to four years. the 35—year—old man, justin gatlin and printer, getting... this is awkward. his gold medal from the president of the iws, lord coe, who only on the bbc this morning said he was pushing for a lifetime ban for justin gatlin. but they could not do it, the lawyers got involved because there is always the thought that people do deserve a second chance. because he is allowed to compete here, he is not the only athlete by any here, he is not the

many of the athletes, not just the british athletes, have praised the crowd.rowd when you are running?m is unbelievable. more so when you walk out. for me, i was starting at the top end. i did a little stride out. as soon as you start moving, everybody stands up and goes mad. you think, well, the race hasn't even started yet. when the race got going and cj had a great first leg and we were clearly in the lead, adam shouts hand and i can barely hairpin. you just got to trust yourself. the crowd was amazing. like nothing else. they stayed to the end to watch us do the lap of honour, a moment we will never get back. we will not have that many world championships in our career again. to win it with these guys is amazing —— unbelievable. particularly when you consider that the british men's team have some trouble sometimes getting the baton around safely. how much is that played on your mind when you think about all the things that have gone wrong and could go wrong in something as chaotic as a relay?m relay it is so unpredictable but we practice so hard. so we can
