Britain was stripped of its Olympic men’s 4x100m silver medal after Ujah tested positive for Ostarine and S-23.

The ban is backdated to 6 August 2021 and will end on 5 June 2023.

The AIU and WADA ruled that the sprinter’s anti-doping rule violation (ADRV) was not intentional and it was instead a result of his ingestion of a contaminated supplement.

The applicable two-year period of ineligibility was reduced by two months on account of the 28-year-old’s prompt admittance of the violation.
