Nigerian teenage weightlifter Chika
Amalaha faces a hearing before the Commonwealth Games Federation on Friday over
her failed drugs test.
Amalaha, whose A sample failed a
control after claiming gold in the women’s 53kg category on July 25, also
produced a positive B sample.
The tests revealed traces of
diuretics and masking agents.
CGF chief executive Mike Hooper said
the follow-up examination backed up the initial finding of the doping control
that Amalaha went through after her victory in the 52kg class at the Clyde
Auditorium seven days ago.
Hooper said on Friday: “I can report
that the analysis on the Nigerian weightlifting Chika Amalaha’s B sample has
been completed, and this has confirmed the analysis and finding of the A
result.”
Amalaha snatched a best of 85kg
before managing 111kg in the clean and jerk for a total of 196kg, to become the
youngest Commonwealth weightlifter gold medallist.
