Great Britain's Jessica Ennis has insisted that athletes found guilty of taking drugs should face no extra punishment on the grounds of their nationality.
The World Anti-Doping Agency is currently challenging the British Olympic Association's rule that suspends their athletes from competing at all future Olympic Games.
Ennis, 25, believes that all competitors should receive the same judgements.
"I think it's a difficult one and I do think it should be a standard rule and it should be the same for everyone," she told Sky Sports News.
"But it's out of our hands as athletes and it's for WADA and the BOA to come to some agreement."
Ennis will be taking part in the heptathlon at next year's Games.
