Cram: Athletes unfairly viewed as cheats

Former world champion Steve Cram says the TUE system is robust and athletes are being unfairly viewed as cheats.

British Olympic gold medallists Mo Farah, Helen Glover and Justin Rose were the latest people to have medical files made public by hacker group, the Fancy Bears, on Monday.

Cram said: "We are just normal people and normal people suffer hayfever and asthma that require long- and short-term medication – does that mean you cannot do sport?

"I think we are getting into a crazy scenario where we are assuming everyone is cheating. They aren't. We are frightening people away from top-level sport."
