ā€˜Paula is no drugs cheat’ says her husband

Paula Radcliffe’s husband Gary Lough protests the world marathon record holder’s innocence.

Radcliffe has said questions raised during a parliamentary select committee "effectively implicated" her in an article published in the Sunday Times investigating doping in UK athletes.

Speaking to Eleanor Oldroyd, Paula’s husband Gary Lough says ā€œshe is going to take it upon herself to stand up for the sport.ā€

ā€œWe didn’t choose to release Paula’s blood dataā€ said Lough.

ā€œI’m pretty sure there’s a bunch of clean athletes who have been lumped into the same boat…I’d like to see WADA come out and state there is no case to answer.ā€

In response to the allegations the three-time London Marathon winner issued a statement saying she was "devastated" that her name had been "linked to these wide-ranging accusations".
