The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) says it is "very alarmed" after fresh allegations of suspected doping emerged in a leak of test data.
The Sunday Times and German broadcaster ARD/WDR have obtained access to the results of 12,000 blood tests from 5,000 athletes between 2001 and 2012.
According to the newspaper, the evidence - which has been seen by the BBC - reveals the "extraordinary extent of cheating" by athletes at the world's biggest events.

IF any or all of this is true - allegations including:
* A third of medals (146, including 55 golds) in endurance events at the Olympics and World Championships between 2001 and 2012 were won by athletes who have recorded suspicious tests. It is claimed none of these athletes have been stripped of their medals.
* Ten medals at London 2012 were won by athletes who have dubious test results.
* In some finals, every athlete in the three medal positions had recorded a suspicious blood test.
- then what say we just declare the whole thing a retrospective farce, recall all medals, melt 'em down into something pretty, & just go get overexcited about something other than 'competitive' sport.
