Champian: British sprinter Victoria Ohuruogu was exonerated of anti-doping charges related to her affiliation.

The 31-year-old was reportedly receiving coaching from her lover, Antonio Infantino, who is currently undergoing a three-year ban for doping.

However, a panel from UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) rejected this.

Ohuruogu, the British 400-meter champion, claimed that the accusation had interfered with her Olympic preparations and cost her “a great deal.”.

Ohuruogu, who has had her funding from Sport restored and plans to compete in Paris in 2024, said, “I can confirm that an independent panel has emphatically dismissed the charge of prohibited association against me, finding that it was ‘not satisfied, let alone comfortably satisfied’ that I have broken any rules.”
“I take my anti-doping obligations extremely seriously and am pleased that the truth of the matter, which is exactly as I have always maintained, has now been confirmed.”

The outcome of the hearing, which was held before the impartial National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP), would not typically be made public, but UKAD stated in a statement that it had done so at Ohuruogu’s request.
