Commonwealth Games: Nigeria stripped of gold medal in women’s relay

The Commonwealth Games Federation has stripped Nigeria of one of the gold medals won at the last edition of the games held in Birmingham in 2022.

A positive drugs test involving Grace Nwokocha meant the gold medal initially awarded to Nigeria in the Women’s 4x100m relay has now been awarded to England, who finished second in the original race.

Nigeria beat England by 0.21 seconds at Alexander Stadium on August 7, the last athletics day at Birmingham, 2022.
