Jan Ullrich, Tiger Woods, Phil Tufnell & Caster Semenya, all sportsmen willing to push the boundaries and reach the top, all reliant on a dedicated back room team of doctors, dealers and agents.

We'll follow their progress in the run up to the event, posting stories and photos along the way. If you have some topical news, submit it to the news desk and we'll gladly publish your stories anonymously.
