A picture dated 21 July 2003 showing British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Sports's swimming commentator Sharron Davies wearing the latest adidas swimsuit in Barcelona. The BBC has reduced the exposure of one of its more glamorous presenters at the Athens Games after suggestions that the former Olympic swimmer's charms were drawing more attention than the sporting achievements she was reporting on. Britain's tabloid press was quick to note that she was not wearing a bra. The BBC denied they had intervened. 'No directive has been givenby producers to change the camera shot,'a spokesman told the British Daily Mirror. EPA/Shaun Botterill UK IRELAND OUT
