You even question...

Going back to like when I was in Loughborough and 2012 came around and a lot more investment, as you can imagine, from UK sport, medals and athletics.

And we were on the track one day in the training group and a conversation sparked about...

Which or who British athlete is going to get the free ride to the gold medal?

And I'm going, what are you talking about?

And the lads are like, oh, well, you know, anytime there's an Olympic Games on, one of the home athletes always comes out of nowhere and gets a medal.

And these are all British athletes.

And it was fascinating because... They're talking about doping there.

They're talking about doping.

yeah yeah yeah so like then they went back and were referencing like you know some of the Greek athletes when it was in Athens you know this sort of you know and these were just things we were all talking about but you do you question and I think now as well when you move away from the sport you question an awful lot and you question okay well like you know you mentioned systematic doping you know Russia

And everything that went on there.

But even kind of looking at, OK, like testing, like who's testing their athletes, where are they getting tested?

What countries are actually putting money in to test their athletes?

And when you actually start going through the breakdown, you know, you'd be surprised at the nations that just aren't investing in that side of it.

It is a really tricky one.

And it's often something that's kind of crossed my mind with, say, you know, some of the athletes you come to that there might be questions or there might be a story.

And the reality is that if I, like you said, if I'm to ask those questions, they won't talk to you.

Simple as that.

He's dangerous.

I've seen it.
