No place for Whitlock

British pole-vaulter Janine Whitlock has been suspended from competition by UK Athletics pending a disciplinary hearing into her failed drugs test.

Whitlock, who was seen as a contender for gold at Commonwealth Games, tested positive for the anabolic steroid methandienone at the trials last month.

An independent Drugs Advisory Officer DAO has ruled that the 28-year-old has a case to answer after the positive test on her A sample.

She could face a two-year ban if a test on her B sample is also positive.
