Nigerian runner Folashade Abugan was stripped of her 400m and 4x400m silver medals after she tested positive to a banned anabolic steroid. The positive test marked the fourth such doping incident at the Delhi CWG Games 2010 and the third by an athlete from Nigeria.

The Commonwealth Games Federation said in a statement that the athlete returned an adverse analytical finding from a test after competing in the women’s 400-meter final.

From Pattayadailynews.com:

“Ms Abugan’s ‘A’ sample was found to demonstrate findings consistent with an exogenous origin of endogenous steroids. The delta values indicate an application of testosterone prohormone, which is prohibited under the current WADA Prohibited List S1 Anabolic Agents,” the statement read. Abugan admitted her guilt after refusing to have her B sample tested.

“Ms Abugan wrote to the CGF waiving her rights to have her ‘B’ sample analysed and a hearing, as provided for within the CGF Anti-Doping Standard (ADS). She also admitted liability,” the CGF statement said.

The Federation Court since concluded that Abugan had committed a violation of anti-doping rules and was disqualified from all events that has participated in during the Games, with results nullified.

“This includes her silver medal in the women’s 400 metres. As she was also a member of her country’s second placed 4×400 metre relay team, that result is also nullified,” the CGF said.

Earlier in the Games, Nigeria’s Osayomi Oludamola and Samuel Okon and India’s Rani Yadav tested positive for banned substances.
