Amalaha stripped of weightlifting gold

Glasgow - Nigeria teenager Chika Amalaha has been stripped of her
Commonwealth Games weightlifting gold medal after failing a doping
test, the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) said on Friday.
The 16-year-old, who won gold in the women's 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.
"As a result, Ms Amalaha has been disqualified from her event at the
Games, with her result in the Women's Weightlifting 53 kilogram
competition nullified."
Dika Toua from Papua New Guinea has been awarded the gold medal
with Indian duo Santoshi Matsa and Swati Singh claiming silver and
bronze.
Amalaha was Nigeria's first gold medal winner in Glasgow, equalling
the Games snatch record of 82kg with her first attempt before lifting
85kg on her third.
Her combined total of 196kg was also a Games record, and according
to the International Weightlifting Federation she was the youngest
women to win a weightlifting title in Games history.
