近日，世界田联官网的运动员介绍中，苏炳添、谢震业、吴智强、汤星强的资料上都标注了奥运会铜牌。

上个月，国际体育仲裁法庭（CAS）发布公告：英国田径运动员吉津杜·乌贾（Chijindu Ujah）违反了反兴奋剂规则，英国男子接力队在2021年8月6日举行的东京奥运会男子4X100米接力决赛中获得银牌的成绩将被取消。

Chinese men's Olympic 4x100 team poised for bronze after British team stripped of Tokyo medal

CBC

Feb 18, 2022

China is poised to be upgraded to bronze as Britain's 4x100-metre relay team was stripped of its silver medal from the Tokyo Olympics after C.J. Ujah's doping violation was confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Friday.

Ujah was part of the quartet alongside Zharnel Hughes, Richard Kilty and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake that finished second to Italy in a close race by 0.01 seconds in August. But a sample taken from Ujah after the race in the Japanese capital was found to contain the prohibited substances ostarine and S-23, which are muscle-building selective androgen receptor modulators.

Ujah did not challenge the anti-doping rule violation but his claim to have unknowingly consumed a contaminated supplement was not accepted. Now the suspended Ujah is waiting for a ruling about a ban from the Athletics Integrity Unit.

"I would like to apologize to my teammates, their families and support teams for the impact which this has had on them," Ujah said in a statement. "I'm sorry that this situation has cost my teammates the medals they worked so hard and so long for, and which they richly deserved. That is something I will regret for the rest of my life."

Britain has only twice previously been stripped of Olympic medals — both bronze. Judoka Kerrith Brown produced a positive for a diuretic at the 1988 Seoul Games — after claiming to be unaware the substance was prohibited — and a banned stimulant methamphetamine was detected in skier Alain Baxter's sample at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games after he used a nasal inhaler.

The British Olympic Association made no attempt to defend Ujah's actions.

"We welcome his contrition. That said, this should act as a salutary message for anyone — British or otherwise — who is doping or considering doping as a way of boosting their athletic performance," the BOA said in a statement. "You will get caught. You are not welcome on our team and nor are you representative of our values, or of our nation."

"All athletes, wherever they are from, deserve to go to the start line knowing they are in clean competition," the BOA said. "It is with deep sorrow that colleagues and opponents of Ujah were not able to be reassured of this fact in Tokyo."
