Solomon Wariso

Solomon Wariso (born 11 November 1966 in Portsmouth) is a retired English sprinter who competed primarily in the 200 and 400 metres. 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.

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

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.
