Nigeria teenager Chika Amalaha has
been stripped of her Commonwealth Games weightlifting gold medal after failing
a doping test.
The 16-year-old, who won the women’s
53kg competition, provided positive “A” and “B” samples that contained
prohibited diuretics and masking agents.
“The Commonwealth Games Federation
has determined that Nigerian weightlifter, Chika Amalaha, has committed an
anti-doping rule violation and has fully suspended her from the Commonwealth
Games in Glasgow,” the CGF said in a statement.
