Athletes Bianca Williams and Ricardo Dos Santos say they were racially profiled by officers.
Two Metropolitan Police officers who carried out a stop-and-search of two athletes in west London committed gross misconduct, a tribunal panel has found.
They were handcuffed and searched outside their Maida Vale home while their baby was in the car in July 2020.During the incident, the couple were pulled over by officers as they returned from a training session and searched on suspicion of having drugs and weapons, but nothing was found.Five Met officers were accused of gross misconduct, which they denied.
Acting Sgt Rachel Simpson, PC Allan Casey and PC Michael Bond were found by the panel not to have committed gross misconduct and all allegations against them were not proven.Ms Williams and Mr Dos Santos complained to the police watchdog about what had happened to them, saying they had been racially profiled because Mr Dos Santos was "DWB, driving while black" in a Mercedes. The watchdog brought a case against the officers.
Mr Dos Santos told the panel while giving evidence that he had been "afraid" for the safety of his partner and his three-month-old son.Earlier this year, Ms Williams won bronze in the 4x100m at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest.At the Commonwealth Games in 2022 and 2018, she won 4x100m gold twice representing England.
