The British 100m sprinter CJ Ujah has been cleared of deliberately taking banned drugs by the Athletics Integrity Unit and the World Anti-Doping Agency, and will be free to return to competition next year.

Ujah led off Team GB men’s 4x100m relay team as they won silver at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 only to test positive for two prohibited substances, ostarine and S-23. It led to the British team being stripped of their medals and Ujah facing a four-year ban.
