The Commonwealth Games Federation court has determined that Botswanan athlete, Amantle Montsho, has committed an anti-doping rule violation and has disqualified her from the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The results of all her performances at the Games will now be nullified.
On 29th July a test during the Commonwealth Games produced an adverse analytical finding indicating the presence of Methylhexaneamine Dimethlypentaylamine – a substance prohibited under the current WADA Prohibited List – Class S6 Stimulants.
Ms Montsho requested that her B sample be analysed, which subsequently confirmed the initial A sample analysis.
The athlete was advised of her rights under the CGF’s Anti-Doping Standard for the Games, and she subsequently informed the Federation by letter, dated 20th August, that she accepts the finding of the test results and waived her right to a hearing before the Federation court.
As a result, the Federation court’s decision, together with all relevant documentation, will be forwarded to the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) for further action in accordance with WADA’s World Anti-Doping Code.
