"It's been a long time but I can finally come home. I got a call from the British embassy and the case against me is closed, so my passport should come back in the next fortnight," said Emmett, speaking to bikesportnews.com this evening.
"I will be able to get back and see my kids and then think about finding some employment as all my money has been spent here. But the main thing is I can finally get to the airport and leave."
