Eric Lira Doping Case uncovers an unnamed British Athlete who met with Lira in Texas for "treatment" prior to Tokyo Olympics

He was elected in Budapest.

I also doubt it's Gemili to be honest, that would be very embarrassing (both for him given the 0 progress in America and for WA as he's on their commission). Might be NMB? It's not impossible that it's CJ Ujah again but I also doubt that.

That's all stuff from four months ago. 0 progress doesn't mean much either; he could have been doping all the time, or only once or never actually.

British Olympian Finds Himself Entangled in US Anti-Doping Inquiry

A British male Olympian got involved in a doping scandal that sheds light on the murky world of anti-doping violations.

According to this article, the unnamed athlete has admitted to their infraction, so I would expect an AIU tweet imminently.

Gemili was not the only Brit in that training group to go to Toky; he has certainly not been the most prominent one as of late either, be it for results or ‘public rivalries’

He was formally announced and present last week in the buildup to the World Athletics Awards in Monaco

Mitchell-Blake ticks a couple of boxes.

Barrett claims the athlete was from “a small island”. M-B was born in the UK but raised during his teen years in Jamaica.

Barrett further states the athlete is focussed “on the 200 but can run a good 400 and 100". This again is a good fit for M-B. I can't find any evidence that Gemili runs 400's.

Come on man,its the US with the state sanctioned doping,especially in college,where MF runs an 11 sec PR in 1 year,gets to an Olympic final,then does nothing once the AIU have him in their sight.

Anyone who has read the details in the Washington Post article would realise that it can be only one British sprinter. Not Gemili. Not Ujah. Not NMB.

I dont have a Washington post account so cant read the article. What incriminating details does it provide? Or, better still, could you tell us who it is :)

It is beyond me how Gemili keeps getting into the 4x1 A squad where there are many MANY faster 100m sprinters in GB and ahead of him in the rankings. Yes he has been in the relay squad for yonks but he is no longer fast enough. Foot speed wins gold medals not safe pairs of hands.

Zharnel Hughes ??? He's listed as running the odd 400....

Here are the relevant quotations:

'to help them to get quick and fast for 100 meter,” later adding that the athlete was from “a small island”'

'the sprinter is focused “on the 200 but can run a good 400 and 100”'

That implies Zharnel Hughes. If true, wow, devastating. Gotta say I'm surprised too.

Was thinking the same, from a small island, form has improved so much over the last 3-4 years!! Hope I am wrong

So everyone is convinced it is not a female athlete?

We looking at Zharnel Hughes then? edit: Yep, looks like we are, stupidly missed the 7 other posts suggesting him too.

But it says that the GB athlte competed for GB a number of times that year - the only senior comps were Euro indoors, euro team champs and the Olympics....was Zharnel in all of those?

Why would that be surprising? A 9.83 sprinter, coached by Glen Mills...
