British sprinter banned for 22 months following failed drug test
Great Britain were stripped of the silver medal they won in the 4x100m relay at the 2020 Olympics
The AIU and WADA ruled that the sprinter's anti-doping rule violation was not intentional and it was instead a result of his ingestion of a contaminated supplement. Clothier added: "Taking supplements is risky for athletes as they can be contaminated or even adulterated with prohibited substances. "The negligence of one individual to fulfil their commitment to clean athletics - one of the essential obligations of representing Great Britain and Northern Ireland - had a devastating impact upon the entire relay programme, but none more so than the other athletes who competed alongside Ujah in the Olympic final," added UKA.
Ujah apologised to his 4x100m relay team-mates Zharnel Hughes, Richard Kilty and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, after Britain was stripped of a medal at a summer or winter Games for only the third time.
