Gareth Warburton has competed for Great Britain at major events

Welsh middle distance runner Gareth Warburton returns from a six-month drugs ban at Sunday's Welsh Athletics Indoor International in Cardiff.

Warburton, 31, and compatriot Rhys Williams, a former European 400m hurdles champion, were suspended after testing positive for banned substances.

The indoor event gives under-20 athletes the chance to take on rising English talent.

Warburton will run as a guest in the 800m final.

Williams, 31, who received a four-month ban, has said he is targeting qualification for the 2015 World Championships in Beijing.

Record-breaking field para-athlete Aled Sion Davies captains Wales at the National Indoor Athletics Centre.
