He and Clyne finished 4th after losing 2-0 to the Australian team in the Bronze Medal Match.[4] In September 2013 Leitch was one of the first 27 athletes to be selected as part of Team Scotland for the Commonwealth Games 2014.[5] Leitch and Clyne again reached the semi-finals in Men's Doubles but ultimately finished 4th, losing to James Willstrop and Daryl Selby in the Bronze Medal Match.[6] In addition, he has won a record ten Blues representing the University of Cambridge on the Squash court. This led to the introduction of the 'Leitch Law' in 2014, which limits the number of Varsity appearances to 8 in total [7], essentially extending the 'Rankov Rule' from rowing to encompass all Varsity matches. Academic CareerLeitch grew up in Edinburgh where he attended George Watson's College.[8] Following graduation in 2003, Leitch entered the University of Cambridge, where he obtained a BA in Natural Sciences in 2007. He subsequently completed an MB/PhD at the School of Clinical Medicine and a Research Fellowship at Wolfson College,[9] as well as teaching Medicine at Fitzwilliam College.[10] He currently leads the Germline and Pluripotency group at the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences[11] and teaches at Imperial College London.
