Wales\\\' Gareth Warburton to miss Glasgow 2014 after doping charge

Welsh 800m runner Gareth Warburton is out of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow after being charged with anti-doping rule violations. The 31-year-old was fourth at the Games in Delhi in 2010 and was part of Team GB at London 2012. ‘The news of this anti-doping rule violation has come as a great shock to me,’ he said in a statement. ‘From the outset, I would like to state that I have not knowingly taken any banned substance.’ UK Athletics has confirmed that Warburton has the opportunity to respond to the charges against him and can also have the charges determined at a full hearing before the National Anti-Doping Panel, according to BBC.
