Turnbull to race pending judgment

BELFAST athlete Gareth Turnbull has been given permission to resume racing even though there is as yet no verdict following the doping charge against him.

It is understood judgment has been reserved until September but that the ban on Turnbull has been lifted pending the eventual outcome.

The charge related to a test conducted in September 2005 and it left Turnbull facing a possible two-year ban.
