2nd failed doping test in Glasgow
Print Edition
A RUNNER from Botswana has become the second Commonwealth Games athlete to fail a doping test in Glasgow.
Games officials say Amantle Montsho tested positive for the banned stimulant methylhexaneamine after coming fourth in the women’s 400-meter final on Tuesday, and has been suspended.
Montsho, 31, who won gold at the Delhi games four years ago, attended a Commonwealth Games Federation hearing yesterday and asked for her backup sample to be tested, which will happen tomorrow in London.
The announcement came a day after 16-year-old weightlifter Chika Amalaha was stripped of her gold medal after a doping hearing.
The Nigerian tested positive for diuretics and masking agents after winning the 53-kilogram division last Friday, becoming the youngest female to win a weightlifting title at a Commonwealth Games.
