Ujah's relay return ends in ruin after a 'horrendous' heat

- ALAN SMITH

CJ UJAH's return to the British relay team ended in disaster at the European Championships yesterday.

Ujah and Richard Kilty found themselves reunited for the first time since a massive falling out after the former's doping ban had them stripped of silver at the Tokyo Olympics.

But a quartet also featuring Jona Efoloko and Romell Glave finished last in their heat with Kilty declaring: "It was horrendous."

Ujah was appearing in his first championships since a 22-month suspension after a drugs test showed two banned substances.

After finishing second behind Italy in the Olympic final, Kilty, Zharnel Hughes, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake and Ujah were disqualified.

Yesterday morning Ujah had the team in fifth after running the opening leg.
