New Zealand sprinter Zoe Hobbs has had her Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games placing upgraded following a doping violation by a fellow competitor.
Hobbs originally finished second in her heat and sixth in the final of the women’s 100m at Birmingham 2022. Following the disqualification of a Nigerian athlete, Hobbs' results move to first in her heat and fifth in the final.
"While it's disappointing to see another doping case in sport, it's good to know the system is working. I'm pleased to see my Commonwealth Games result upgraded as a result of the case," said Hobbs.
Hobbs is currently competing in Europe and will be in action next month at the World Track and Field Championships in Budapest.
