Paula Radcliffe reveals 'aggressive' abuse suffered online since supporting IAAF's landmark legal battle with Caster SemenyaPaula Radcliffe has described facing "vicious" and "aggressive" abuse from internet trolls since she backed plans to restrict testosterone levels of intersex athletes in the wake of the Caster Semenya case.
