New Delhi: In what may turn out to be the first case of doping at the Commonwealth Games here, Nigeria's women's 100m gold medallist Osayemi Oludamola has reportedly tested positive for a banned substance.
The 24-year-old, who won the event after Australian Sally Pearson's disqualification for making a false start, has tested positive for a banned stimulant.
According to news reports, her B sample is yet to be tested.
The Athletics Federation of Nigeria has said the positive result is the result of the prescription medication she took for a toothache.
"She took medication for her toothache and we strongly suspect that it was that, which led to her failed drug test," AFN President Solomon Ogba told Nigerian news site 'Vanguard'.
Oludamola finished behind Pearson in 11.32 seconds before the Australian was disqualified.
