British sprint relay loses Tokyo Olympic silver

Because of Chijindu Ujah (2nd from right), the British sprint relay loses Olympic silver.

The British sprint relay has been stripped of its silver medal from the 4x100m race at the Olympic Games.

The reason for this is a positive doping test from the sprinter Chijindu “CJ” Ujah, as the International Court of Arbitration for Sport CAS announced on Friday.

During the check, the banned substances ostarine and S-23, which are commonly used to increase muscle mass, were found.

Italy had won the competition while Canada secured third place on the podium ahead of China. (SDA)
