Martyn Taylor Lucking (born 24 March 1938 in Leigh-on-Sea) is a British former shot putter, who became an anti-doping campaigner and tester in Athletics working for the British Athletics Federation.

Athletics career

Lucking competed in the 1960 Summer Olympics and in the 1964 Summer Olympics.[1]

He topped the podium for England at the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, improving on his runner-up finish to Arthur Rowe when he represented England at the 1958 Games.[2][3][4] He also represented Great Britain twice at the European Athletics Championships, competed in the same years as his Commonwealth appearances.

He also represented England in the shot put, at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland.[5][6] Luckyn was the second UK athlete to throw over 60 feet.[7]

Anti-doping

During the Tokyo Olympic games in 1964, Lucking who was a qualified doctor, felt intimidated against the huge competitors, and found out from them that their weight gain and improved performances had come from taking anabolic steroids. Lucking went to the chair of the British Amateur Athletics Board, Sir Arthur Gold, and they both discovered that there were no rules against using the drugs and so therefore not illegal. Sir Arthur Gold then took this up with both the International Athletics Federation and the International Olympic Committee, and within a few years they were banned after a report from Arthur Porritt, which Lucking had helped write.[8][9][10] Lucking would later work as a drug tester for the British Athletics Federation,[11] and was a defendant as part of the Diane Modahl legal case as he was the chair of the disciplinary panel that had found her guilty.[12][13]
