Commonwealth Games women's 100-metre gold medal winner Damola Osayemi has failed a drugs test.
She has been provisionally suspended until the result of her B sample is received on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old was named champion on Thursday after Australia's Sally Pearson was controversially disqualified for a false start.
England's Katherine Endacott finished fourth but could now be handed silver if the decision is upheld.
The sprinter showed traces of a banned stimulant called methylhexaneamine, which has only recently been added to the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list.
Osayemi requested the testing of her B sample after which the Commonwealth Games Federation released a statement.
