Two former Metropolitan Police officers have been handed their jobs back and will receive back-pay after winning an appeal against a ruling that they lied by saying they could smell cannabis during a stop and search of British athlete Bianca Williams and her partner.
Ex-constables Jonathan Clapham and Sam Franks were dismissed in October last year after a disciplinary panel found they lied about smelling the drug when they pulled over Olympic sprinter Ricardo Dos Santos and his partner Williams on July 4 2020.
