Doping positives in triathlon seem to coming in at a rate unseen before. Did these athletes just resort to drugs this year? Likely they have been tested/investigated their entire career and just at the end they get found? There seems to be more of a story here...?

My Grandpa's British record finally bettered after over 28yrs! Will always inspire me, what he was able to do for so long. Glad to see a new line in the sand though. Well done Alastair
