Critical literacy question: What does the author of this text want us to know?
The author of this text wants us to know about the Tokyo Olympics where the British set to lose Tokyo 2020 relay silver after Ujah drug positive confirmed. International Olympic Committee rules state: Where the athlete who has committed an anti-doping rule violation competed as a member of a relay team, the relay team should be disqualified from the event in question, with all resulting consequences for the relay team, including the forfeiture of all titles, awards, medals, points and prize and appearance money.
Ujah reacted to news of his failed test last month, saying "I am completely shocked and devastated by this news. To be absolutely clear, I am not a cheat and I have never and would never knowingly take a banned substance. I love my sport and I know my responsibility both as an athlete and as a teammate.
