An article the British newspaper The Sunday Times claims that around a third the world's top athletes a major event cheated using drugs. The newspaper says a study was carried during the World Athletics Championships Daegu, South Korea in 2011. It showed that 29-34 per cent the 1,800 competitors had used performance-enhancing drugs the previous 12 months. Reporters say that the International Association Athletics Federations (IAAF) knew the report but blocked its publication. The study was conducted Germany's University Tubingen. The IAAF said there were many things wrong with the report. It added that it is discussions to help publish it one day.

The details the report are a huge shock the athletics world. The Sunday Times reports that one-third the medals endurance races the Olympics and World Championships were won athletes who had very unusual blood readings. The World Anti-Doping Agency said Friday that it would investigate the claims in the report. It said an independent commission has already started work this. The lead author the report, Dr Rolf Ulrich, told The Sunday Times that he and his colleagues were ordered not to discuss their research or the report. He said: "It's because the IAAF is blocking it. I think they are stakeholders WADA and they just blocked the whole thing."
