Solomon Wariso

Iju Solomon Christopher Wariso (born 11 November 1966) is an English male retired sprinter who competed primarily in the 200 and 400 metres.

Born to Nigerian parents in Portsmouth where his father was stationed with the navy, Wariso's family moved to London in 1971.

He represented his country at two outdoor and three indoor World Championships and is the British record holder in the indoor 4 × 400 metres relay. Wariso became the British 400 metres champion after winning the British AAA Championships title at the 1994 AAA Championships.

He represented England in the 400 metres and won a silver medal in the 4 x 400 metres relay event, at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

He tested positive for an illegal stimulant, ephedrine, in 1994 and was banned from competing for three months, despite his claims that he took the substance unknowingly in a herbal supplement.
