Radcliffe: ‘When you cheat you forgo the privilege to take part in your sport’

World marathon record holder and six-time World Champion Paula Radcliffe has told 5 live she believes “when you cheat you forgo the privilege to take part in your sport.”

Radcliffe was reacting to Maria Sharapova’s return to tennis after serving a ban for doping. The Russian is through to the third round of the Stuttgart Open, after serving 15 months for taking the banned substance meldonuim.

Radcliffe told 5 live’s Anna Foster:

“Cheat’s damage the sport and damage the people trying to do that sport in the right way.”
