In the latest development in the story of the East German state-run doping programme, The Times broke the news in 2021 of a possibility that the bronze and silver medals won may be upgraded to gold. [13] Davies, who's book Unfair Play : The Battle For Women's Sport has been shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year award, went on to explain how ' cancel culture' has caused her to lose a lot financially as she continues to speak out against transgender athletes in swimming.

In her her 2023 book, Unfair Play: The Battle for Women’s Sport, Davies argues against the cheating of female athletes by trans women participating in women's sport.
