Weightlifter Zoe Smith on 'weird' drugs testing
Champion weightlifter Zoe Smith said a 鈥渨eird little B&B鈥� was the strangest place she鈥檚 ever been drugs tested.
She told 5live's Phil Williams that: 鈥淲eightlifting is always on the brink of being thrown out of the Olympics for not being a clean sport鈥�.
Like most professional sports, drugs tests are commonplace in weightlifting. Zoe said competitors 鈥渉ave to fill in an hour every day of where we are going to be鈥� so they can be randomly tested at any time.
The twenty-one year old is hoping to be selected for the Rio Olympic Games in 2016.
This clip was originally broadcast on Phil Williams on 20th August 2015.
