Chijindo Uja, the British sprinter who won a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics as part of the British Apostles team in the 4x100 meter dash was suspended after failing a drug test, the media in the kingdom reported tonight (Thursday).
There is now a chance that the 27-year-old athlete's Olympic medal will be forfeited, and it is even possible that the medal will be forfeited from all members of the British Apostles team that won the silver medal in the run.
This is despite the fact that the rest of the team - Nathaniel Mitchell-Blake, Richard Kilty and Journal Hughes - did not fail the test.
As you may recall, in the 4x100m relay final, the Italian team took first place in a time of 37.50 seconds, and the British came one hundredth behind them - 37.51 seconds.
