17 year old Nigerian weightlifter Chika Amalaha
made Nigeria proud as the first athlete to win
gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games held in
Glasgow, UK.
Unfortunately, she tested positive to drugs and
was stripped of her win.
The Treasurer of Nigeria Weightlifting Coaches
Association Andrew Ekanem , claims young
Amalaha was stripped of her gold medal after
failing a drug test because of consistently drinking
Zobo PM News reports. He made the statement in an interview with Brila
FM,
"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."
