Glasgow 2014: Gold medallist Chika Amalaha fails drugs test
Nigerian gold medallist Chika Amalaha has been provisionally suspended from the Commonwealth Games for failing a drugs test.
The 16-year-old won weightlifting gold with a combined total of 196kg in the women's 53kg category.
Her 'A' sample was found to contain both amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide, which are both prohibited as diuretics and masking agents.
Amalaha will now have a 'B' sample tested on Wednesday.
Amalaha won gold last Friday, as Dika Toua took silver to secure Papua New Guinea's first medal of Glasgow 2014, with India's Santoshi Matsa winning bronze.
