N.O.C Appeals Chika's Suspension.

Nigerian Olympic Commiitee, NO.C, has appealed against the suspension of Nigeria's female weightlifter, Amahala Chika who was provisionally suspended from the Commonwealth Games.

 

 

The athlete's A sample was found to contain both amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide that are prohibited as diuretics and masking agent under class s5 of WADA'S prohibition list.

 

The Chief Executive Officer of Commonwealth Games Federation, Mike Hooper, confirmed that Chika had been issued with anotice of disc;losure after returning an adverse analytical finding from an in- competition test om Friday, 25th of July, 2014.

 

Amalaha Chika, who won a Gold medal in the Women's 53 kilogramme division, has pursued her right to have her B sample tested which will take place at the accrditation centre in London on Wednesday.

 

 A check at the Nigerian Games Village in Galsgow, showed that other Nigerian athletes are unperturbed by Chika's suspension as they are in competition to make the nation proud at the tournament.

 

Nigeria witnessed similar trauma at the 2010 Dehli Commonwealth Games where the nation's athletes were suspension after random doping test was conducted on selected athletes.
