CJ Ujah has been controversially reinstated to the Great Britain 4x100m relay team after completing his doping ban. Ujah's prior failed drug test, which resulted from a contaminated supplement purchased on Amazon, had previously led to Team GB being stripped of their Olympic silver medal from the Tokyo games. This shock recall has sparked debate within the athletics community, with UK Athletics CEO Jack Buckner describing the situation as 'really, really tough'. Despite the controversy, Buckner defended the decision to include Ujah in the squad for next month's World Athletics Relays.
