Indian Yadav fails drugs test

Indian race walker Rani Yadav tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone today, becoming the third person in as many days at the Commonwealth Games to be caught doping.



The Commonwealth Games Federation says Yadav, who was sixth in the women's 20-kilometer walk on Saturday, has been provisionally suspended from the event.



Yadav could be banned for two years if found guilty.



Over the previous two days, two Nigerian runners tested positive for the banned stimulant Methylhexaneamine, with Osayomi Oludamola later stripped of her gold medal in the women's 100-metre race.



Hurdler Samuel Okon, who did not win a medal, also tested positive.



Commonwealth Games Federation President Mike Fennell says more than 1,300 doping samples had been collected so far at the games.
