A BBC sports journalist allegedly tampered with a pre-recorded interview so that the word fuck could be clearly heard repeatedly during a Radio 5 Live broadcast, the Mail on Sunday reports.

The journalist supposedly merged two audio files - one an interview by reporter Jacqui Oatley with Wigan football club manager Roberto Martinez, the other a ‘blooper’ of BBC horse racing corresponent Cornelius Lysaght using the f-word - so that Lysaght can be heard over the interview.
