 Lewis-Francis also lost his European Indoor 60m silver medal |
Mark Lewis-Francis has been named in the Great Britain athletics squad for the Norwich Union International against Russia and USA in Glasgow on 5 June. It comes less than a week after he was given a public warning by UK Athletics after testing positive for cannabis.
He was also stripped of the silver medal he won in the 60m at this year's Spar European Indoor Championships.
Lewis-Francis, who claimed he ingested the drug passively rather than deliberately, avoided a two-year ban.
Lewis-Francis' team-mate, Scottish long jump record-holder Darren Ritchie, admitted he had some sympathy for the sprinter but insisted that responsibility ultimately lay with individual athletes.
"You're responsible for your own body and what you take, regardless if it is accidentally, knowingly or unknowingly taken," said Ritchie.
"You're always aware of things you do and things you eat. It's crazy. You can almost be hypersensitive to it all.
"If I open this bottle of water in front of me I don't know where it's been, who provided it or if it's been tampered with.
"That's another stress of athletics in this day and age. You have to be very vigilant in what you take or do."
