Richard Kilty revealed he never had the chance to let his son take his Olympic silver medal into school due to CJ Ujah's failed drugs test. Great Britain were stripped of their silver from the men's 4×100 metres relay at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics on ...

I’m glad that he’s apologised to us, I’m glad that he’s apologised to our families and the whole set-up. You’ve got two situations, either he took drugs or it was contaminated in his supplement that wasn’t tested. “Only he knows the truth. Hopefully we’ll be Olympic champions.” You never think it, not in a million years. “It has to have the Informed Sport stamp, they are the rules we have all followed, and for the last 21 years.

Richard Kilty said his 4x100m teammate's failed drug test had left him 'heartbroken' after being stripped of the medal they won in Tokyo.

And I know for a fact I’m never going to fail a drug test because I’m not a drug cheat and I follow the rules.” “We do a 45-minute workshop before we go to the Olympic Games,” said Kilty. “You have to do it. I know for a fact that I’m never going to fail a drug test for two reasons. Only he knows if he has or hasn’t. Could he look me in the eye and tell the truth? “If you break the rules, you’ve got to live with the consequences,” said Kilty. “We know the rules. “But then it’s a nail in the coffin saying you’re getting stripped of your Olympic silver medal.

Richard Kilty says CJ Ujah will not be welcomed back into relay set-up after testing positive for an anabolic steroids alternative.

He added: “I would like to apologise to my team-mates, their families and support teams for the impact this has had on them. “And now we’ve been stripped of the silver. We’ve always done what we’ve done to get to that position to be part of the British 4 x 100 strike four. “You know we lost the gold medal by a thousandth of a second,” Kilty added. He said: “I don’t even like dropping him off at school because every parent in the schoolyard [is] talking to me.” Ujah’s version of events deserves little sympathy, Kilty says. We have followed the rules, in and out.”

Great Britain will be stripped of the 4x100m relay silver won at the Tokyo Games after Ujah tested positive for a banned substance.

“We (he and Ujah) speak quite frequently – not so much about the topic, although I know he’s got a lot going on in his mind already. It has to be heart-wrenching for him, and naturally it’s heart-wrenching for us. “Only he knows the truth. “But then obviously it’s a nail in the coffin saying you’re getting stripped of your Olympic silver medal. I’ve known him for a long time, we were friends before the sport and we’ll continue to be friends. We have followed the rules, in and out,” he said.

Ujah's conviction for taking the banned substances Ostarine and S-23 was finally ratified on Friday, six months after that night in Tokyo when the pair ...

In a statement on Friday, Ujah said he will ‘regret’ this situation for the rest of his life. But could he look me in the eye and tell the truth? ‘I sincerely regret that this has inadvertently led to the forfeiture of the team’s silver medals. Only he knows the truth. ‘I unknowingly consumed a contaminated supplement and this was the reason why an anti-doping rule violation occurred at the Tokyo Games. I know for a fact that I’m never going to fail a drug test for two reasons. It’s a tragedy for all of us involved.’ ‘CJ is ultimately going to be the one who is going to get banned himself — it is affecting his own career. Sadly, it’s affected his career and three of our careers, our families, absolutely everything. Kilty revealed that, since the scandal erupted two days after their relay run, there has been no contact with Ujah, beyond one Zoom call six weeks ago. We finally reached the pinnacle and won an Olympic medal, and then we lose it because one person has just been sloppy with what’s gone into their body. ‘You know, what he’s done has been reckless,’ said Kilty, 32, via video call, his Olympic medal on a table a few inches away.
