Scottish sprinter
Douglas Walker (born 28 July 1973 in
Inverness ), also known as Doug or Dougie Walker, is a former
Scottish
sprinter . He represented Scotland at the
Commonwealth Games in 1994 and 1998. He was a relay medallist at the
1997 World Championships in Athletics and at the
1998 European Athletics Championships he claimed a
200 metres /relay gold medal double.
Educated at
George Heriot's School in
Edinburgh , in 1998 he became
European champion in both
200 metres and
4x100 metres relay . With 31.56 seconds he is the
European record holder in
300 metres , although this distance is rarely run.
He tested positive for the
anabolic steroid
nandrolone in 1998 but was cleared of all charges by a
UK Athletics disciplinary committee in 1999.
[1] IAAF later overturned that decision, applying their strict liability rule and he received a two-year ban in 2000. Despite an attempted comeback following his suspension, the ban effectively ended his elite level athletics career.
