ATHLETICS
Former Olympic champion Justin Gatlin has claimed victory in his first competitive race following a four-year doping ban. The American sprinter, who comfortably won his 100metres heat earlier on Tuesday, finished with a time of 10.24 seconds to triumph in the final at the Kuldliiga meet in Estonia.
HOCKEY
England slipped to a 3-2 defeat against World Cup winners Australia at the Champions Trophy in Monchengladbach. Reading forward Jonty Clarke's goal five minutes from time set up a tense finish but Jason Lee's side could not force an equaliser. The result makes their chances of qualifying for the final with two matches to go virtually impossible with games to come against Holland and New Zealand.
