Paula Radcliffe advocates four year bans for serious doping offenses, sanctioning of doping enablers. Says she would not vote for Turkey or Madrid to host the Olympics because of Turkey’s spate of doping positives, for which a country should also be sanctioned by the IOC with reduced entries to the Olympic Games, and Spain must allow the Operation Puerto blood bags to be investigated by WADA or like agency, not be destroyed.
