Sport rocked by ‘wild’ doping allegations (Reuters)

By Karolos Grohmann KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) – The world of athletics was rocked on Sunday by “wild” doping allegations involving hundreds of suspect blood samples, just as global sports leaders were meeting in Malaysia. International Olympic Committee members and sports federation chiefs woke to the news that IAAF test data had been leaked to news organizations and that it allegedly showed suspect samples from athletes, including Olympic and world championship medalists. Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper and German broadcaster ARD/WDR say they were given access to the results of over 12,000 blood tests provided by more than 5,000 athletes over 11 years in a case that could plunge athletics into a new doping crisis.
