From Steven Colvert on Twitter......."Today is a sad day. After spending the last year trying to clear my name of the doping allegations, a decision has been made. Unfortunately the panel has found me guilty of doping. Something I have always been strongly against and will continue to stand against. Miscarriages of justice come in many forms, unfortunately this time it has involved me. I will be returning to the sport I love in September with my head held high safe in the knowledge that I have never doped. I would like to thank everyone whom has supported me in the last year. Unfortunately the result is not the one we were looking for. I know this result is just as disappointing for the supporters of Irish Athletics as it is for me. Once again i'd like to thank anyone who has supported me up until this point and to those that will continue to do so. I have not given up on this fight and will continue my efforts to clear my name....Steven"
