Don’t vanish into thin air as just the latest fraud in a lengthening list. There’s one more important race left to run. What hurt so much about Gatlin’s positive sample result wasn’t that he was an lympic gold-medal athlete who turned up dirty. We’re used to that now.

He firmly believes that a key reason for what Ministers call the ticking timebomb of ill-health related to rising inactivity is the dramatic decline in the amount of sport and PE undertaken by Britain’s schoolchildren. ‘ur problems with school sport can be traced back to the mid-Eighties when a lot of goodwill among teachers was surrendered as a result of the industrial disputes’ says Griffiths. ‘Many teachers stopped giving up their time to supervise pupils’ sports. ‘ Years of under-investment in facilities and the pressures of a packed curriculum have contributed to the damage he added.
