    New Zealand 100 metre sprinter Zoe Hobbs' fifth place at last year's Commonwealth Games has been upgraded to fourth - after a doping violation by a fellow competitor

    New Zealand 100 metre sprinter Zoe Hobbs' fifth place at last year's Commonwealth Games has been upgraded to fourth - after a doping violation by a fellow competitor


    Nigerian athlete Grace Nwokocha - who finished fifth in the Birmingham final - has been hit with the violation.

    Nwokocha's doping infraction also means the Nigerian 4 by 100 metre team she was part of forfeit the gold medal they won in that event.
