Gareth Warburton makes return after drugs ban

Welsh athlete Gareth Warburton made his return from a drugs suspension last weekend by winning an 800m race in Cardiff.

Warburton was making his first appearance since being suspended for six months for taking a supplement that had been contaminated with an anabolic steroid, despite it being ruled that he didn't knowingly take the banned substance.

The 31-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "It's nice to be back.

"This is where I train on a daily basis so I've come back here and it's nice to be here for my first race and to compete in front of a home crowd.

"I know everyone here, it was nice to blow those cobwebs out of the way."

Rhys Williams, who was also banned for the same offence, has also completed his suspension.
