Glasgow2014: Botswana 400m finalist fails doping test

Former world and Commonwealth champion Amantle Montsho has been
provisionally suspended after failing a doping test following the
women's 400m final at Glasgow 2014.

The A sample of Botswana's Montsho, who finished fourth in the final,
tested positive for banned stimulant methylhexaneamine.

A further test of the B sample will take place on Monday in London.
Montsho won Commonwealth gold at Delhi 2010 and the world title in 2011.

She won silver at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, losing out
on gold to Great Britain's Christine Ohuruogu in a dramatic
photo-finish.

Montsho told the BBC earlier this year that she would quit athletics
after the Rio 2016 Olympics and aimed to become a basketball player.
