Javelin thrower Joanna Blair suspended in doping case

The British javelin thrower Joanna Blair has been suspended in a drug-doping case.

The 31-year-old has received a provisional suspension from the International Association of Athletics Federations, over the "presence of a prohibited substance or its metabolites or markers in a sample".

Blair won the British title last year with a personal best of 57.44m and represented Great Britain at the European Athletics Team Championships in Lille this summer.

She has the chance to appeal and the right to a full hearing.
