Two Met Police officers have been sacked after carrying out a stop-and-search of two athletes which a tribunal found amounted to gross misconduct.

British world championships medallist Bianca Williams, 29, and Portugal Olympic sprinter Ricardo Dos Santos, 28, say they were racially profiled.

They were handcuffed and searched outside their west London home while their baby was in the car in July 2020.

All allegations against three other officers were not proven.

TalkTV’s Rosie Wright is joined by former Met Detective Peter Bleksley slams two Met Police officers who falsely claimed they ‘smelt cannabis’ to justify carrying out a stop-and-search of two black athletes.

“The only positive thing to come of this is if any officers that would ever dream of doing something this dishonest – will now not ever do that!”
