:00:46. > :00:53.Our correspondent David Ornstein has the details.
:00:54. > :01:00.The Sunday Times says it sent an aspiring Olympic runner to film Dr
:01:01. > :01:06.Mark Bonar undercover. He claimed he had helped more than 150 elite
:01:07. > :01:09.sports people, including boxers, tennis players, an English
:01:10. > :01:12.cricketer, British cyclists and Premier League footballers.
:01:13. > :01:18.Obviously some of these treatments I out of are banned on the
:01:19. > :01:23.professional circuit. OK. So you have to be mindful of that. Having
:01:24. > :01:27.said that, I've worked with lots of professional athletes. OK. Who do
:01:28. > :01:33.use these treatments. The doctor, who is based in London, allegedly
:01:34. > :01:39.prescribed performance enhancing drugs such as EPO, steroids and
:01:40. > :01:47.human growth hormone. The truth of the matter is drugs are in sport.
:01:48. > :01:53.Right. Now, what I do is, what I do is I prescribe responsibly and I try
:01:54. > :02:01.to keep my patients the optimum level of normal. If somebody came
:02:02. > :02:06.into me and said, why are you giving (BLEEP) testosterone, can I say,
:02:07. > :02:15.look, his testosterone level is 15 and the normal range is 4 to 30, he
:02:16. > :02:19.has symptoms of testosterone deficiency syndrome and I just
:02:20. > :02:25.topped them up. But that's not the real reason. It is to increase his
:02:26. > :02:29.performance. It is how you sell it. It also implicates some of the
:02:30. > :02:33.biggest football clubs in England. If you are a footballer in your 30s
:02:34. > :02:37.how are you going to keep up with an 18-year-old. There is though
:02:38. > :02:42.suggestion that any Premier League club was aware of any wrongdoing and
:02:43. > :02:46.they same the claims are false and without foundation. It stems from
:02:47. > :02:51.evidence passed to UK Anti-Doping Agency two years ago. UK Anti-Doping
:02:52. > :02:56.Agency said it didn't act at the time because Dr Bonar wasn't
:02:57. > :03:01.governed by any one sport and it didn't pass it to the General
:03:02. > :03:05.Medical Council to investigate. John Whittingdale said he was shocked and
:03:06. > :03:09.deeply concerned about these allegations and has asked for an
:03:10. > :03:13.urgent investigation. He added that in future criminal sanction s could
:03:14. > :03:17.be considered against athletes. In response to the allegations Dr Bonar
:03:18. > :03:21.said, I do not dope or treat patients for the sole purpose of
:03:22. > :03:24.performance enhancement, even those these treatments may enhance
:03:25. > :03:29.performance as a secondary effect. These are the latest allegations to
:03:30. > :03:31.rock professional sport, an industry that without integrity loses its
:03:32. > :03:35.appeal. David on Steen, BBC News. The Business Secretary says
:03:36. > :03:37.the Government is committed to making sure Port Talbot
:03:38. > :03:40.steel works stays open, and is prepared to offer support
:03:41. > :03:42.to make sure a buyer comes forward. Sajid Javid said the UK steel
:03:43. > :03:45.industry has to have a future, as he didn't want to live
:03:46. > :03:48.in a country reliant Labour says with Tata Steel looking
:03:49. > :03:52.to sell all its UK interests the industry needs to be taken
:03:53. > :03:54.into public ownership - at least in the short term -
:03:55. > :03:57.if a buyer doesn't come Here's our political
:03:58. > :04:09.correspondent, Susana Mendonca. Can the British steel industry be
:04:10. > :04:13.saved? The Business Secretary says he doesn't want to see these turn
:04:14. > :04:17.aspectses at Port Talbot go cold, but with Tata pulling out of its
:04:18. > :04:20.loss-making plants in the UK the Government needs a buyer, and it is
:04:21. > :04:26.willing to pay a price to clinch a deal. I want to see steel making
:04:27. > :04:30.continuing in Port Talbot. Does that include the blast furnaces though? I
:04:31. > :04:34.want the find a buyer for the whole of the business. Of course there'll
:04:35. > :04:37.be help that needs to be provided. Because we've been working on this
:04:38. > :04:41.for weeks, I've thought carefully about the kind of help we can
:04:42. > :04:44.provide, I do feel though, for lots of reasons, after talking to Tata
:04:45. > :04:48.and many others involved in this, there will be enough time to find
:04:49. > :04:53.the right buyer working with the Government and being able to take
:04:54. > :04:57.this forward. He says the issues potential buyers of Port Talbot need
:04:58. > :05:00.to consider are the plant, what's produced there, pensions, how much
:05:01. > :05:05.it might cost to cover them, and power, the price of energy, a
:05:06. > :05:09.long-running issue for British steel suppliers. So the Government's
:05:10. > :05:13.promising assistance but not going as far as nationalisation. That's
:05:14. > :05:15.what the Labour Government did for the banks eight years ago to
:05:16. > :05:20.what the Labour Government did for them from collapse, and the shadow
:05:21. > :05:22.Chancellor said if a buyer for Port Talbot can't be found soon,
:05:23. > :05:28.nationalisation is still an option. If we haven't got that leeway and
:05:29. > :05:31.the timescale, as a fall-back yes, nationalise in the short term to
:05:32. > :05:35.stabilise the situation, prepare the sector for putting it back out to
:05:36. > :05:39.another buyer. That will give us the stability we need in the sector. If
:05:40. > :05:43.the Government allows our steel sector to close, Port Talbot to
:05:44. > :05:47.close, it could cost us between 1 and 1.5 billion to keep people on
:05:48. > :05:50.the dole and have economies collapse in those communities. So far the
:05:51. > :05:54.Government says it will encourage councils and other public bodies buy
:05:55. > :05:59.British for new building projects. There is also talk of further
:06:00. > :06:03.British for new building projects. And it will have to come up with
:06:04. > :06:07.more incentives to woo the private buyers if it wants to save the
