Britain's 4x100m team stripped of 2020 silver; Canada to be upgraded

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s 4x100-meter relay team was stripped of its silver medal from the Tokyo Olympics after C.J. Ujah’s doping violation was confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Friday.

As a result of Britain losing their medal, Canada - whose team won bronze - stands be upgraded to silver from bronze. Canada's team was made up of Andre De Grasse, Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake and Brendon Rodney.

Ujah’s sample taken in Japan in August contained the prohibited substances ostarine and S-23, which are selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM) and help with building muscle.

Ujah did not challenge the anti-doping rule violation, but CAS said he claimed to have not knowingly or intentionally doped and that “the source of the prohibited substances could have been the ingestion of a contaminated supplement.” That argument was not accepted.
