Women's marathan record holder Paula Radcliffe says that she feels like she has been "almost abused" by calls for her to release her blood data.

Three samples have been leaked to the media today, which Radcliffe says will exonerate her of any wrongdoing.

"I'm not being forced and almost abused into giving a knee-jerk reaction to something that goes against other people, who I trust," she said.

All three samples were flagged after they were found to be above the acceptable limits set by WADA but Radcliffe says that such samples were taken after periods of altitude training and that is proof of her innocence.

She released a statement on Tuesday "categorically" denying cheating during her athletics career.
