Whistleblower welcomed back to Athletics field
Russian doping whistleblower Yuliya Stepanova was welcomed back to the athletics world as a neutral runner at the 2016 European Championships.
The Russian athletics federation has been banned from international competition since November 2015, after a World Anti-Doping Agency report found evidence of state-sponsored doping.
Stepanova, speaking to Ed Harry, says "Athletes should not be afraid" to stand up against their own nation.
