second Nigerian has failed a drugs test at the Commonwealth Games.

Samuel Okon, 24, who was sixth in the 110m hurdles won by Andy Turner, tested positive for the same drug as women's 100m winner Damola Osayemi.

According to Commonwealth Games Federation president Mike Fennell, Okon is waiving the right to the B sample test but this has yet to be confirmed.

Wow!!! I thought it was only Nigerian Athletes that are drug cheats!  See how some countries i.e. Australia try to hide their drug cheats but, are quick to condemn others and flash their pictures all over their newspapers

I wonder how many of Australian athletes were tested during the commonwealth games, the above report says: "They were tested BEFORE and AFTER the GAMES NOT DURING the GAMES.

Here is a comment from one reader as to the specific stimulant that cost Nigeria Osayomi gold:

"give back any money and medals you have won and the public should know who you are, its cheating we are all to quick to bag others. The stimulant, which has the chemical name methylhexaneamine, cost Nigerian sprinter Osayomi Oludamola her Commonwealth Games 100m gold medal, which she was awarded after Australian Sally Pearson was disqualified."
