The 16 year-old faced a disciplinary panel on Friday after testing positive in sample A and Sample B, therefore, she has been stripped of the medal she won in the Women 53kg weight category.

A statement from the panel read in part: โ€œThe 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.


โ€œAs a result, Amalaha has been disqualified from her event at the Games, with her result in the competition nullified.โ€

Papua New Guinea’s Dika Toua is now awarded the Gold medal, having finished second behind Amalaha.

Along with the strip, her #Glasgow2014 Commonwealth Games record as the youngest Gold medalist, with a weight pull of 196kg is nullified.
