Gareth Warburton (born April 23, 1983 in Beverley ) is a British athlete.

Career

He won silver at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in 2005 with the British 4 x 400 meter relay. At the European Athletics U23 Championships in 2005 , the British relay also won silver, but there he was only used in the preliminary run. At the Commonwealth Games 2006 he started for Wales without reaching the finals.

Then he switched to the 800 meter distance and finished fourth in the 2010 Commonwealth Games . For the Olympic Games in 2012 he was initially not selected. But then he still managed the A-Norm at the Bislett Games and was nominated as the last British athlete. In London he was eliminated in advance.

Shortly before his assignment at the 2014 Commonwealth Games , he was found to have violated the doping rules and was banned for six months.
