In one of the most dramatic weeks in athletics history, legendary American coach Alberto Salazar was banned for four years for doping offences, 37-year-old Kenenisa Bekele missed the world record in the marathon by a scant two seconds in Berlin and there was controversy and celebration at the World Athletics Championships in Doha. Host Mike Finch and sports scientist Prof. Ross Tucker look at the facts of the case against Salazar, the shoe that is defining marathon running performances and how Doha, despite poor crowds, is still delivering top-class competition.
