http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-2873094/Anti-doping-boss-probes-suspicious-red-drug-list-names-UK-star.htmlThe article says "British track and field icon" and shows a picture of the London 2012 stadium. I'm not sure if that means someone that medalled in London, but how many of those are considered "icons" - perhaps only Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis.
But there are obvious reasons to also suspect Ohuruogu who got silver in the 400m, but is she really a "British track and field icon"?
The problem with naming the names, is that not all will be guilty and it is difficult to defend against accusations about an unusual blood value back in 2001-2008.
The problem with not naming them, is that there will be speculation and rumours and I'm sure there are already a large number of athletes and coaches that know who the athletes are. The rumours could be just as damaging as releasing the list. Meanwhile the guilty could get away with it while others are accused.
Could it be Kelly Holmes? Some people thought her rapid ascension was suspicious, and she was a pretty big deal. It seems that people here are assuming the high-profile athlete must be Mo or Ennis, but back in 2006 or so Paula (no!) and Holmes should also be included as possibilities.
