Athlete Liz McColgan cleared of attacking husband
Scottish track legend Liz McColgan has been found not guilty of assaulting her estranged husband at their home.
A sheriff dismissed claims by Peter McColgan - a former Northern Ireland steeplechaser - that she had punched and "prodded" him in July this year.
Speaking after the verdict Mrs McColgan said: "Today has proved that I am on my way to a new life now.
She added: "My only regret is that my children have been affected by this."
