Daley wins Commonwealth diving gold

English diving sensation Tom Daley has struck gold at the Commonwealth games with his new partner Max Brick. The English duo were competing in the 10 metre synchronised event and eventually took the title ahead of Australia.

It wasn't until the second dive that Daley and Brick took the lead, and they only held a small advantage going into the final round.

The Australians responded in style and pulled out the stops for their final dive, but their efforts were not enough to overtake the English pair.

Daley rose to fame as a 14-year-old at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, where he became the darling of the Great Britain team and the press, but failed to win a medal and fell out with dive partner Blake Aldridge.

But the following year he became a world champion and he now has a Commonwealth gold to add to his collection.

"It was a very tough event but we have been putting a lot of work in," said Daley, now 16, after the competition. "We wanted to come here and do well and to get the gold was the icing on the cake."

There was more success for England as sprinter Abi Oyepitan claimed sivler in the women's 200m and pole-vaulter Steve Lewis also claimed second spot.

Middleweight boxer Anthony Ogogo caused controversy as he beat Indian favourite Vijender Singh, without landing a scoring blow. Two warnings for holding and pulling against the Indian, which were worth two points each to Ogogo, earned him a 4-3 victory to the fury of the home crowd.

Meanwhile the Games were hit by another failed drugs test as a second Nigerian athlete tested positive for the stimulant  methylhexaneamine.

Commonwealth Games Federation president Mike Fennell revealed that hurdler Samuel Okon had fallen foul of the regulations.

The revelation comes a day after the winner of the women's 100m Osayemi Oludamola tested positive.

"I have to report a second anti-doping violation. It is another Nigerian athlete, Samuel Okon in the 110m hurdles, and it is the same substance, methylhexaneamine," said Fennell.

"The athlete has been notified and there will be a provisional hearing later today."

He added that he was concerned about the number of failed tests involving methylhexaneamine. There were several before the Games began and Fennell said he was worried that it might be found in food supplements.

"The supplements industry is by and large an unregulated industry worldwide and it is an industry that is a cause of great concern, not only for the fight against doping but also the protection of athletes," said Fennell.

Okon, who came sixth in the final, has reportedly waived the right to a B test. ·
