One more ban and his chances of fighting at the Olympics will be gone.

Ashley has six months to prove that he is good enough to compete for Britain at the London Olympics. He needs to win a medal at the toughest international judo competitions in the world. He also needs to make sure his behaviour doesn’t let him down.

To keep himself on track Ashley is leaving his Mum and his childhood home to go and live with his tough, no nonsense, ex-Olympian coach, where the new level of discipline required will push him to the limit.
