Britain's relay team loses Tokyo Olympic silver over Ujah doping

Maybe this can pass this righteous message on to the Russians.

Maybe this can pass the message to the general public that doping is not practised by one particular country as the media has widely and repeatedly reported and made us to believe.

Maybe there should be an inquiry into why these results take so long to process?

A good forensic lab should be able to perform these tests around in days, not months.

WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) do not seem fit for the task.

Or maybe the tests are 5% chemical and 95% political?

That is something I will regret for the rest of my life.”

Of course. You got caught.

Maybe only hours, maybe even a lot shorter, if they are processing only one person's sample.

Just saying:

China taking bronze.

Russia is next! The team gold will be given to the silver medalist "the Americans." Thanks Kamila and her team of cheating coaches.

I bet if the figure skating problem didn't arise, this doping scandal would have been brushed under the carpet. Why has it taken this long? Yeah, it hurts to finally give that bronze to China.

The delay is often due to the legal process. The lab, Wada and the sport in questions governing body have to ensure that everything has been done by the book. A claim for loss of earning for some top sports stars would break Wada or UK athletics.

The British Olympic Association made no attempt to defend Ujah's actions.

“We welcome his contrition. That said, this should act as a salutary message for anyone — British or otherwise — who is doping or considering doping as a way of boosting their athletic performance," the BOA said in a statement. "You will get caught. You are not welcome on our team and nor are you representative of our values, or of our nation.”

Canada will be upgraded to silver with China taking bronze.

Canada and China benefited from this, rightfully so - just as the US, Japan, and Canada should rightfully benefit from Team Figure Skating

“All athletes, wherever they are from, deserve to go to the start line knowing they are in clean competition,” the BOA said. “It is with deep sorrow that colleagues and opponents of Ujah were not able to be reassured of this fact in Tokyo."

Contrast that to Russia
