Olympics: Fraser bids to bounce back

SHANGHAI: World champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce failed a drugs test at the Diamond League meet in May last year, after taking a painkiller to treat a toothache. In her first international interview since completing the ban she was in a philosophical mood.  “The road to success has to have obstacles because at the end of the day, when success comes, it will be that much better,” said the 24-year-old. Almost a year on from the positive test, she still refuses to blame her coach, Stephen Francis, for giving her the banned substance.
