2nd Nigerian athlete fails drug test at CWG

New Delhi: A second Nigerian runner has failed a doping test for the same banned substance at the Commonwealth Games, organizers announced on Tuesday.

Commonwealth Games Federation president Mike Fennell said Samuel Okon, who was sixth in the final of the 110-meter hurdles last Friday, had tested positive for the banned stimulant Methylexanemine.

Osayomi Oludamola, the women's 100 meters gold medalist at New Delhi, has asked for her B sample to be tested after it was announced Monday that her initial sample had returned a positive for the stimulant. She could be stripped of her medal.

Fennell said the Nigerian team was investigating.
