Bilal Fawaz is the British champion who cannot get a passport

The fact that he is repeaentongytge country at this level means he should be fast tracked, it's an absolute failure of the system.
The peak of insanity was that he couldn't represent the UK at the London Olympics. Even though he wouldn't even have to leave the country to do so.
