He is not a celebrity seeking a comeback after falling out of fashion or battling person demons.

His career as an athlete is over. Brands will not want to sponsor him. He will not be sought out as a sports commentator.

The 37-year-old, once dubbed "the Blade Runner", is said to look physically very different from the athlete people remember.

His sentence will only expire in 2029. Until then, he will be subject to conditions and can be returned to prison if he breaches them.

Requirements include being home at set times each day, attending mandatory programmes, and not being allowed to consume alcohol or prohibited drugs.
