The British Olympic Association’s (BOA) Chairman Hugh Robertson said it would be “tragic” if other members of the country’s Olympic 4x100m relay team were stripped of their silver medals over Chijindu Ujah’s anti-doping rule violation.

The Athletics Integrity Unit said on Thursday Ujah has been provisionally suspended for allegedly breaching anti-doping rules at the Tokyo Games after he had returned an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) from a test carried out during the Olympics.
