Francis is pictured above during the heats of the 100m at the 2002 European Championships
in Munich. He originally won the silver medal behind Dwain Chambers - in a national record time
of 10.06 - but was later elevated to the gold medal position when Chambers' results were annulled
after he admitted to taking drugs during that period.
