A retired British doctor has allegedly said that he doped 150 sports stars.

Mark Bonar, who works out of a private London clinic, is alleged to have said that he prescribed performance-enhancing drugs a number of top UK sports personalities over the last six years.

His 'clients' allegedly include Premier League footballers, British cyclists, a boxing champion and an England cricket star.

Dr Bonar allegedly charged thousands of pounds for performance-enhancing drug programmes. He reportedly claimed he had provided banned substances for sports stars that included erythropoietin (EPO), steroids and human growth hormone.

The allegations have come to light as part of an investigation by The Sunday Times, with Dr Bonar said to have made the disclosures in meetings with undercover newspaper reporters.
