Oludamola Osayomi stripped of 100m Commonwealth Games gold medal • B sample confirms positive test for methylhexaneamine• Fellow Nigerian Samuel Okon also disqualifiedThe Nigerian Oludamola Osayomi has been stripped of the women's 100m Commonwealth Games gold medal after her B sample confirmed a positive test for a banned stimulant.Her compatriot Samuel Okon, who also tested positive for methylhexaneamine, waived his right to have his B sample tested and has also been disqualified from the Games and his sixth place in the 110m hurdles nullified.Oludamola's expulsion sees the gold medal now go to Natasha Mayers of St Vincent and the Grenadines, while Katherine Endacott of England takes silver and Bertille Delphine Atangana of Cameroon has been promoted to bronze. The Australian Sally Pearson had won the race but was later disqualified for a false start, meaning Mayers is the third athlete to take gold.Oludamola and Okon will have to wait to discover the full consequences of their positive tests. A Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) statement said: "The jurisdiction of the CGF relates only to the period of the Games. In accordance with the Anti-Doping Standard the documents pertaining to Mr Okon and Ms Oludamola have now been referred to the IAAF for whatever subsequent action it might consider appropriate."The World Anti-Doping Agency recently loosened the classification of methylhexaneamine for next year to the specified stimulant list, which covers drugs that are more susceptible to inadvertent use and can carry reduced penalties. Methylhexaneamine is widely used as a nasal decongestant.Sanctions for use of the drug can be reduced if athletes can prove they did not intend to enhance performance by taking them and penalties can range from a warning to a two-year ban.Commonwealth Games 2010AthleticsDrugs in sportguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
