Northern Ireland sprinter Leon Reid barred from Commonwealth Games after security risk assessment
Reid claimed Northern Ireland's first athletics medal in 28 years at the 2018 Games
The 27-year-old was handed a suspended sentence and ordered to do 220 hours of unpaid work by Bristol Crown Court. "Leon had been selected by CGNI and had been entered into the 200m event prior to the 29 June deadline," added the statement. Tokyo Olympic 200m semi-finalist Reid, 27, was one of 18 men charged last year with drugs and firearms offences, all of which he denied.
