Should Ujah and therefore be excluded from the entire UK relay, the silver will go to Canada and the bronze to China.
Ujah was scanned immediately after the end of the 4 x 100 . sequence. Traces of ostarine were found in his urine, which is an anabolic with testosterone-like effects. The violation was discovered on August 8 by the Tokyo Anti-Doping Laboratory, two days after the competition. Ujah has been suspended pending counter-analysis as a precaution. If the positivity is confirmed, the case will be transferred to the Anti-Doping Department of the Court of Sports.
