Sprinter handed suspension by UK Athletics

UK Athletics has charged and suspended Bernice Wilson, the British sprinter, charged with an anti-doping offence.
The 27-year-old Wilson tested positive for the anabolic steroids, testosterone and Clenbuterol, last month.
From News.bbc.co.uk:
The provisional suspension came into effect on 9 July. It was issued by UK Anti-Doping, the independent body responsible for all anti-doping programmes and the management of violations and disciplinary issues in the United Kingdom.
Wilson, from Lincolnshire, could face a two-year ban if found guilty of doping.
This year she has set new personal best times in the 60m and 100m. She ran 7.25 seconds for the 60m at the European Indoor Trials in Sheffield in February, and 11.57 seconds for the 100m at the Inter Counties Championships in Bedford in May.
Bernice Wilson ran a wind-assisted time of 11.41 seconds for the 100m in Loughborough in May.
