To any people out side of the UK listening to British people crticising Christine here...it's just what a large group of the UK population like to do - attack our sports men and women who actually do win to try and lower their achievements. It happens all the time, even when they are the best in the world.

Paula Radlciffe is another example of an athelete who has achieved and yet she gets more negative comments than anyone else.

It's a real shame. Why can't all Brits celebrate success?

how is she a cheat. she never took drugs. she missed 3 random drug tests, outside of championships. she never missed one before or after a championship. just while training so it's quite the impossibility that she cheated. fyi

@DogKirk actually it's the english that like to attack people because they think they're better than anyone else but us Welsh are nothing like those english, there's a difference between being british and english ;)

@1gadena She was banned (for a year, I think) for missing three drugs tests. I don't think anyone believed that she actually took drugs, UK Athletics is particularly stringent on drugs, they can demand a test whenever they like, wherever in the world you are, and it was three of these random drugs tests that she missed, hence the ban.

Did she not get banned for using illegal enhancing drugs?

@vim90 bling? you mean flashy jewellery? ohh....you mean the gold medals, I get it now. black (note: negro is out of date terminology) athletes aren't the only ones who have been caught doping...Rani Yadav ring any bells?
