'Athletes now standing up to drug cheats'
Former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies says she is angry that the International Olympics Committee knew that athletes were using drugs in the 1980s, when she was competing, but chose to do nothing.
Davies missed out on a gold medal to the East German, Petra Schneider, who later admitted to taking drugs.
Speaking to The World Tonight's Ritula Shah, Ms Davies said she was pleased that clean athletes were now standing up and saying they would not tolerate athletes who have been found guilty of doping.
