UK Athletics technical director Stephen Maguire has affirmed that CJ Ujah will be considered for selection for international events despite his recent doping ban.
If is available to compete we will select him. I haven’t spoken to CJ in a couple of years. He made a mistake and that’s clear, I need to see what the environment is like,” BBC Sport quotes Maguire as saying.
“CJ, first of all, has to run fast anyway. It’s looking at that environment and where it all fits. Hopefully things go easy for CJ in coming back and it would be great to have that choice in selecting CJ. The 100m and 4x100m is going to be tough for anyone. “I’ll definitely be chatting to CJ. I’ve had a couple of conversations with the BOA . It’s getting to know them now the CJ news has broken. He’s eligible next year. It’s a conversation I’ll need to have.”
Ujah will be eligible to compete at next year’s World Athletics Championships, which take place in Zurich between August 19 and August 27, two months after his suspension is due to be lifted.All rights reserved.
