Salbutamol, sometimes sold as Ventolin, is used to treat asthma. Back in July Hull had to pull out of the UL International Crown suffering from asthma and a fever.

There is no suggestion the 20-year-old from Burton Latimer or any other athletes whose details have been released are involved in any wrongdoing.

Hull is competing in the fifth and final major of the season, the Evian Championship in France, which starts today.

"This golden final day still holding interest with 40 overs remaining and the new ball due in 10. 

"Five wickets for Northamptonshire to take. Two in two balls for Ben Sanderson - who went past 50 in the season in the process - reignited Northants' afternoon after a stand of 103 for the fourth wicket. 

"A feature of Northants' revival over the past month has been taking almost every chance that's come their way. 

"But here a drop by Richard Levi when Phil Mustard hadn't scored could prove crucial."

The Met Office is warning, external of torrential rain for the East this afternoon.

"Slow-moving, thundery showers may lead to locally torrential downpours across the area, with the risk of frequent lightning," it says.

"Please be aware that whilst many places will miss them, there is the risk of flash flooding."

Savings of £170,000 on staff costs at the office of the police and crime commissioner have been welcomed by the Police Federation.

Chairman of the Federation, Gez Jackson (pictured), said: "This is a positive step forward and hopefully there will be more savings to come to help us provide frontline policing."

PCC Stephen Mold said it had been important to review the structure to make sure it "represented value for money".

Despite reducing the size of his office by eight staff members and saving £170,000 in the process, police and crime commissioner Stephen Mold (pictured) is still spending more than his predecessor did in 2014.

At that time a BBC investigation found Adam Simmonds' staffing costs were £1.12m, spent on 17 members of staff.

He was criticised for having overseen a 61.5% increase in costs over the old police authority, which had employed seven people at a cost of £694,599.

Mr Mold's staff now cost more than that, at £1.14m for 18 staff.

But it is much less than Mr Simmonds' final costs when he left the role earlier this year. At that point his office employed 26 people at a cost of £1.32m. 

Thanks for following our live coverage of the sentencing of a mother and grandmother over the death of a baby in Daventry. 

We'll now take a look at what else is going on in Northamptonshire.

The case of Molly-Mae Wotherspoon's death was subject to a mandatory referral to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) and it is due to publish its findings shortly, according to Northamptonshire Police.

A Serious Case Review will also be published within the coming weeks by the Northamptonshire Safeguarding Children Board.

In a statement released through her solicitor, Susan Aucott, the grandmother of Molly-Mae Wotherspoon, says "there can be no greater punishment than the loss of my precious, beautiful granddaughter and watching, and experiencing first-hand".

Aucott had been looking after baby Molly-Mae in October 2014 when the dog killed the six-month-old child. She and Molly-Mae's mother, Claire Riley, have been jailed for two years over the death.

Aucott continued: "There is no doubt in my mind that things could and should have been done differently and lessons have been learnt the hard way. Every parent, every dog owner needs to take notice. Please do not let Molly-Mae's death be in vain."

The mother and grandmother of a six-month-old baby girl mauled to death by the family dog are jailed.

We're briefly interrupting our rolling coverage of the Molly-Mae Wotherspoon case to tell you the BBC has learned more than £1m is being spent on staff at Northamptonshire's police and crime commissioner (PCC) office, despite eight positions being cut.

A new management structure announced by Northamptonshire PCC Stephen Mold (right) will save more than £170,000.

But his office still employs 18 staff members at a cost of £1.14m.

Claire Riley's father, Colin Riley, told me "she's a wonderful mother, despite how it must look".

Mr Riley went on to say she "idolised" six-month-old Molly-Mae, adding the family visited her grave every week.

Mr Riley said his daughter was "hurting" and had been "naive" at the time of the dog attack, but was "a wonderful person".

Det Supt Jen Helm, from Northamptonshire Police, described the death of Molly-Mae Wotherspoon as a "sad and terrible case".

Molly-Mae's mother Claire Riley and grandmother Susan Aucott were both sentenced to two years in prison with half on licence over the six-month-old's death.

Det Supt Jen Helm told the media outside Northampton Crown Court the charges of owning and being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog were brought for the first time in Northamptonshire.

She went on to say the force hopes there will be "greater awareness of the consequences of owning a banned breed" and the "potential dangers of leaving any dog near a small child".

Northampton Crown Court heard today the dog, Bruiser, which attacked Molly-Mae Wotherspoon, was originally owned by mother Claire Riley's partner, who was in prison.

On the day of the attack, Molly-Mae was being looked after by Riley's alcoholic mother Susan Aucott (right), who had been drinking.

The American pit bull was never walked and kept in a crate, but on the night of the attack managed to get out, the court was told.

The dog launched a savage attack on Molly-Mae. Aucott tried to stop it and suffered a bite to the hand. She then dialled 999.

Both Riley and Aucott, of Northampton, were sentenced to two years in prison, with half on licence.

Northampton Saints captain Tom Wood looks to less than typical musical scores for motivation in the gym.

The pit bull terrier which killed Molly-Mae Wotherspoon is one of four banned breeds in the UK, under the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act.

It was bred with fighting in mind.

It was used in blood sports like bull and bear baiting - where packs of dogs were set against bigger animals in a pit. These "sports" were made illegal in 1835.

If you own a banned dog in the UK then the police can take it off you, even if it's well behaved and no-one's complained.

However, if you can prove a dog's safe, despite it being a banned breed, then you can get a certificate of exemption.

This means you can keep it, but you have to get special insurance. You've also got to be over 16 and keep the dog muzzled in public.

At the hearing this morning, the prosecution gave more details of their case against Claire Riley (pictured) and Susan Aucott.

The court heard police were called to an argument between Riley and her mother two months before the death. Riley told police her mother was an alcoholic.

James House QC, for the prosecution, said this showed Riley knew her mother was not a fit person to babysit her daughter.

The court heard Molly-Mae suffered injuries to every limb and puncture wounds to her brain.

The hearing was told Riley had gone out on the night the attack happened, leaving her mother to look after the baby at her home in Daventry.

Judge Mrs Justice Carr told the pair Molly-Mae was savagely attacked by pit bull Bruiser, adding "this was a tragic and totally avoidable incident".

The mother and grandmother of Molly Mae Wotherspoon have both just received a two-year prison sentence, with half on licence. 

The judge at Northampton Crown Court told them suspending the sentence was not a realistic option.

The six-month-old died after a banned American pit bull attacked her in the former family home in Daventry in October 2014.
