Andrew Ekanem, Treasurer of Nigeria Weighlifting Coaches Association has revealed that Chika Amalaha, who was stripped of her gold medal after testing positive to a banned substance at the just concluded Commonwealth Games, might have got the prohibited substance from her consistent drinking of a local drink called ‘Zobo’.

In a statement he made while being interview on Brila FM early today, The treasurer said:

‘‘It was unfortunate that Amalaha was stripped of the medal she won at the Commonwealth Games, I could recall that after she was warned against drinking ‘Zobo’ after the African Youth Games in Gaborone, Botswana last May where she won three gold medals, when we returned to Abuja for camping ahead of the Commonwealth Games, she still sneaked out to drink ‘Zobo’ again.’’


Meanwhile, after Amalaha was stripped of the medal, Dika Toua from Papua New Guinea was awarded the gold medal with the India duo Santoshi Matsa and Swati Singh claiming silver and bronze respectively

She just loves zobo

I hope the official is not the one trying to force us to "drink zobo" with this incredible news
