Anti-doping authorities in Britain will carry out more than 7,000
drugs tests on athletes at the London Olympics and Paralympics
later this year, more than at any previous games.

They're also warning potential cheats that the 2012 Games will be
the 'riskiest yet' with a greater chance of them getting caught.

But, despite the rhetoric, the British Olympic Association also
faces the overturning of its lifetime Olympic ban for any athlete
banned for more than six months for a doping offence.

The World Anti-Doping Agency says the BOA's stance is not
compliant with its code.

What message does this send in an Olympic year, and what can WADA
do to combat what it sees as the growing role of organised crime
in the trafficking of performance enhancing drugs?

Tim Franks speaks to WADA's President, John Fahey.
