Sprinter Mark Lewis-Francis missed drug tests
Sprinter Mark Lewis-Francis has admitted that he is only one missed drugs test away from being given a one-year ban.
Mark Lewis-Francis, 25, had missed tests in 2005 and 2006 and he knows that just one more problem like this in the next three years would mean an automatic ban.
Mark Lewis-Francis is reported to have said: "I have two strikes. I am on the final line, I am on the wire."
"My two are for being lazy. It was while the system was brand new and they should have given us a bit of leniency. I think it's a rubbish system."
Mark Lewis-Francis explained why he had missed the drugs tests, the results of which are kept on British athletes' records for five years.
Mark Lewis-Francis said: "They both happened when I first moved from Birmingham to train in the south."
