Radcliffe: Ohuruogu Let Me Down (guardian Unlimited)

Paula Radcliffe yesterday said she was "disappointed" that Christine Ohuruogu did not make a greater effort to avoid one of the three missed drugs tests which brought her a year's ban from athletics.

Ohuruogu was cleared by a British Olympic Association independent appeals panel last week to run for Great Britain in the Beijing Games. Before her hearing she revealed how, for her second test, on June 28 last year, she was at her home in east London and could not reach the testers at Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow, Middlesex, within the hour's time limit. A journalist last week claimed that he managed the same journey, including a number of wrong turns, in 58 minutes. Visit the Site
