No word yet on Willis promotion

22/06/2009 15:28:05

There is still no confirmation whether Nick Willis has yet been promoted to being a 1500 metres Olympic silver medalist.

It is understood the test of the B sample on current gold medalist Rashid Ramzi's postive test for blood-boosting EPO-derivative CERA is underway. There have been no further disruptions from Ramzi's lawyers.

The test was expected to start on June 19 New Zealand time - B samples can take around three working days to test.
