British sprinter provisionally suspended for failing drugs test


Nigel Levine
It was reported in December that 28-year-old British Olympic sprinter Nigel Levine had allegedly tested positive for the banned asthma drug clenbuterol.
Levine will be offered a UK Anti-Doping hearing to defend himself.The European indoor gold medalist has not competed since he broke his pelvis in a motorbike crash in Spain in January 2017, an accident which also involved compatriot James Ellington
Clenbuterol is on the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list because it is deemed a performance-enhancing drug and can induce weight-loss.
