Workington Comets' new number one, Kenneth Hansen, has been cleared of suspected testicular cancer.

A diagnosis suggested he might have had testicular cancer, but he returned home to Denmark for another check up, which has cleared him.

The news comes just hours before the start of the new speedway season.

He will now return to Cumbria, and will continue to race.
