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. (Photo; Yuliya Stepanova at the 2016 European Championships, Credit; Getty Images)
