Lee Wellings

Sport Correspondent

I'm the London-based Sports Correspondent. I joined in May 2011 and have had the chance to work on some major sports news stories, such as FIFA and cricket corruption. Leading figures interviewed include Sepp Blatter, who told me that players should 'shake hands' if there has been any racism, causing worldwide controversy. A big part of my 2012 will be the Olympics in London.
