GB shot putters are charged over tests

ATHLETICS: UK Athletics last night confirmed that shot putters Kieren Kelly and Jamie Stevenson have been provisionally suspended from all competition after being charged by UK Anti-Doping.

The provisional suspension, which begins with immediate effect, follows the refusal of both to undertake an out-of-competition test on January 9.

Kelly and Stevenson, third and fifth respectively in the British rankings last season, have the right to a full hearing. If found guilty, they could face a two-year ban.
