CJ Ujah: British Olympic silver medallist suspended after positive test for
banned substance
British sprinter CJ Ujah has been suspended from competition after testing
positive for a banned substance.
Ujah, 27, was part of Team GB men's 4x×100m relay team which won silver at
the Tokyo 2020 Olympics this month.
He has been provisionally suspended, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said.
The AIU said a test showed the "presence/use of a prohibited substance
(Ostarine and S-23)."
A UK Athletics spokesperson said the governing body does not comment on
ongoing processes.
Ujah, who has yet to comment, won the 100m at the British Championships in
June.
Britain's men's quartet missed out on the 4x100m title by just a hundredth of
a second in Tokyo.
Ujah ran the opening leg as anchor runner Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake was
overhauled on the line by Italy's Filippo Tortu.
World Athletics Anti-Doping rules state that in instances where an athlete
who has committed an ADRV competed as a member of a relay team, "the relay
team shall be automatically disqualified from the event in question, with all
resulting consequences for the relay team, including the forfeiture of all
titles, awards, medals, points and prize and appearance money".
Enobosarm, or Ostarine, is listed as an anabolic agent - banned at all times
- in the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of prohibited substances.
The UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) website said it has "similar effects to
testosterone".
S23 is a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (Sarm), which, according to
the United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) "have similar anabolic
properties to anabolic steroids".
Ujah can request analysis of the B-sample - kept for storage while the
A-sample is analysed - and should that confirm the Adverse Analytical Finding
[AAF], the case will be referred to the Anti-Doping Division of the Court of
Arbitration for Sport [Cas ADD].
In turn, the International Testing Agency (ITA) said: "The Cas ADD will
consider the matter of the finding of an Anti-Doping Rule Violation [ADRV]
and the disqualification of the men's 4 x 100 relay results of the British
team".
Three other athletes have been suspended after tests carried out during the
Tokyo Olympics.
They are Moroccan 1500m runner Sadik Mikhou, shot putter Benik Abramyan of
Georgia and Kenyan sprinter Mark Otieno Odhiambo.

CJ Ujah：英國奧運銀牌得主因違禁物質檢測呈陽性而被停賽
英國短跑選手CJ Ujah因違禁物質檢測呈陽性而被停賽。
27歲的Ujah是英國男子4×100米接力隊的一員，該隊本月在2020年東京奧運會上獲得銀牌
。
田徑誠信部門（AIU）表示，他已被暫時停賽。
AIU表示，一項測試顯示「存在/使用禁用物質（Ostarine 和 S-23）」。
英國田徑運動發言人表示，管理機構不對正在進行的進程發表評論。
尚未發表評論的Ujah在6月的英國錦標賽上贏得了100m。
英國男子四人組在東京以百分之一秒之差錯失了4x100米接力冠軍。
Ujah跑了首回合，因為主力跑手Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake被意大利的Filippo Tortu追
上並超過。
世界田聯反興奮劑規則規定，如果一名運動員作為接力隊的成員參加了ADRV比賽，「接力
隊將被自動取消參賽資格，並給接力隊帶來所有後果，包括沒收所有頭銜、獎項、獎牌、
積分以及獎金和出場費」。
Enobosarm或Ostarine在世界反興奮劑機構的禁用物質清單中被列為合成代謝劑-一直被禁
止。
英國反興奮劑（Ukad）網站稱其具有「與睾酮相似的作用」。
S23是一種選擇性雄激素受體調節劑（Sarm），據美國反興奮劑機構（Usada）稱，它「具
有與合成代謝類固醇相似的合成代謝特性」。
Ujah可以要求對B樣本進行分析——在分析A樣本時保存以供存儲——如果這證實了不利分
析結果[AAF]，則案件將提交仲裁法院反興奮劑部門進行運動[Cas ADD]。
反過來，國際檢測機構 (ITA) 表示：「Cas ADD 將考慮發現違反反興奮劑規則[ADRV] 以
及英國隊男子4×100接力成績被取消資格的問題」。
在東京奧運會期間進行測試後，其他三名運動員已被停賽。
他們是摩洛哥1500米跑者薩迪克·米庫、佐治亞州的鉛球手貝尼克·阿布拉米揚和肯尼亞
短跑運動員馬克·奧蒂諾·奧迪亞姆博。
