Christine Ohuruogu, a British sprinter, recieved a one-year ban from competitions. The year is up, but she’s still barred from competing in the Olympics. She’s making her case to the British Olympic Association today… er, tomorrow for Brits.

LONDON, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Christine Ohuruogu should be allowed to compete at next year’s Beijing Olympics, according to marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe.

Ohuruogu returned from a one-year ban to win the 400m at this year’s world championships after missing three out-of-competition drugs tests.

Under British Olympic Association (BOA) rules she is barred from competing for Britain in the Olympics, although she will attempt to overturn that decision at a hearing on Monday.

“I think they will allow her to compete in Beijing,” Radcliffe, an outspoken critic of doping cheats, said in The Observer on Sunday.
“They did (overturn the suspension) on (triathlete) Tim Don and the judo player (Peter Cousins) so there is a precedent there. To be honest she has served her time.

“She has to admit that she made mistakes and that she was in the wrong. She didn’t play by the rules.”

The 23-year-old Ohuruogu has admitted for the first time that she was to blame for missing the tests.
