Spinter CJ Ujah has been cleared of deliberately taking a banned substance following the failed drugs test which saw Great Britain’s men’s 4x100m relay team stripped of their Olympic silver medals last summer.

Ujah tested positive for two banned substances - ostarine and S-23 - during the Tokyo Games, and was facing a possible four-year ban but has instead been hit with a reduced 22-month punishment after an investigation found the violation was “not intentional” and came as a result of a contaminated supplement.
