Owen Ansah has been included in the German team for the European Athletics Championships set for August 10-16 in Birmingham. This decision follows an ongoing investigation by the German Anti-Doping Agency regarding a refused doping test earlier this month. Despite the probe, the DLV confirmed Ansah can compete. He recently won national titles in the 100m and 200m and has yet to be suspended. His future participation in the 4x100m relay remains uncertain pending the investigation's outcome.
