LONDON (Reuters) – British sprinter CJ Ujah said he was “shocked and devastated” after a positive drugs test that could see his country stripped of their Olympic silver medal in the 4x100m relay. “To be absolutely clear, I am not a cheat,” Ujah said in a statement to the PA news agency on Saturday. Ujah’s relay team mates were Zharnel Hughes, Richard Kilty and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, whose medals will also be at risk if the positive is confirmed. In his statement, Ujah said: “I am completely shocked and devastated by this news. I love my sport and I know my responsibilities both as an athlete and as a team mate.
