One week ago, Nigerian weightlifter Chika Amalaha was being celebrated for winning the gold medal in the women’s 53 kg weight class at the 2014 Commonwealth Games at Glasgow.

The 17 year old was celebrated for setting a new Games records in 53kg weight category, but the celebration did not last for long. She was suspended from the games on Tuesday, July 29 for testing positive to drugs, traces of diuretics and masking agents were found in her sample A. Her B sample was sent for testing and it also came out positive to substances on the prohibited lists.

The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) had a meeting with Amalaha on Friday, August 1, 2014, and she was subsequently stripped of her gold medal.

This a very sad story.
