British sprinter Richard Kilty said he missed out on sending his son to school with an Olympic medal because team mate Chijindu Ujah failed to adhere to rules that would have prevented his positive dope test and their Tokyo silvers being stripped.

Ujah and his team mates Kilty, Zharnel Hughes and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake finished second behind Italy but Canada will now be upgraded to silver while China get the bronze. "They are the rules you have to follow and I have for the last 21 years. It's just devastating that other team mates haven't followed the rules as strictly as the rest of us. And we've been burned by that," Kilty told BBC Radio.

"Only CJ knows the truth. Either he took drugs or it was contaminated in his supplements which weren't tested. Either one is not following the rules."
