Two Met Police officers have been sacked after being found guilty of gross misconduct over the stop and search of two black athletes. Olympian Ricardo dos Santos and Team GB's Bianca Williams were handcuffed and searched on suspicion of having drugs.
Ricardo dos Santos revealed he had never smoked or had alcohol in his lifeAthlete Ricardo dos Santos today accused the Met Police of stereotyping black people for smoking weed after he and his girlfriend Bianca Williams were handcuffed by officers who lied about smelling cannabis in a stop and search.
His comments came after Ms Williams earlier broke down in tears and said she is thinking about leaving the UK. 'So again, I'm not going to have any form of cannabis, I'm not going to smoke cannabis with my baby in the car. For them to say it...' 'We believe we were followed based on the colour of my skin because they never saw Bianca in the car, they only saw myself.'Moving forwards, with accountability, I don't believe there is any.'
Yesterday, the panel found PC Clapham and PC Franks had lied about smelling cannabis during the stop and search. In an emotional sit-down interview with the BBC, the young mother said it shouldn't have taken three years for the misconduct hearing to conclude.
