LONDON - Team GB's silver medal in the men's 4x100 metres relay at the Tokyo Olympics is almost certain to be stripped after the International Testing Agency confirmed Tuesday that CJ Ujah's B sample has tested positive for banned substances.
Ujah provided the sample on 6 August, the ITA said, the same day that he was part of the British team which won silver behind Italy. "The ITA confirms that as per the athlete's request, the B-sample analysis was carried out by the WADA-accredited laboratory of Tokyo on 19 August 2021 and the procedure confirmed the result of the A-sample," the ITA said in a statement.Ujah's samples have tested positive for prohibited substances Ostarine and S-23.
Ujah was provisionally suspended following the result of the A sample last month and released a statement on August 14 saying he was "shocked and devastated" by the outcome of the test. He added: "To be absolutely clear, I am not a cheat and I have never and would never knowingly take a banned substance.The possible forfeiture of the medals will be considered first, before the Athletics Integrity Unit follows up to consider any sanction beyond the Games for Ujah.
