GB sprinter Nigel Levine provisionally suspended for failed drugs test

Thursday, 8 February 2018 07:00

British sprinter Nigel Levine has been handed a provisional suspicion over a failed drugs test.

The 28-year-old Olympian allegedly tested positive for the banned asthma drug clenbuterol in December.

Levine will be offered a UK Anti-Doping hearing to defend himself.

He has not competed since January 2017, after breaking his pelvis in a motorcycle crash in Spain.

Clenbuterol is on the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list because it is deemed a performance-enhancing drug and can induce weight-loss.
