英属维尔京群岛短跑运动员Adaejah Hodge以22.07秒的成绩赢得英联邦运动会女子200米金牌[1]，但在赛后遭遇尴尬局面——没有人与这位冠军握手[1]。对此，澳大利亚选手Torrie Lewis表示对这一情景并不感到意外[1]。
Hodge的冷遇源于其药物违规历史。2024年8月30日，她在U20世界锦标赛中检测出禁用物质GW1516（Cardarine/Endurobol）[1]。经过调查，原定的两年禁赛期被认定为意外摄入，最终被减少七个月，Hodge于2025年1月恢复参赛[1]。根据报道，其原始禁赛期曾为四年，后被减至两年[3]。这次禁赛使得原本获得该赛事200米银牌的Lewis晋升为金牌得主[1]。
在英联邦运动会200米决赛中排名第六的Lewis被告知不要对此事发表评论[1]。Lewis表示："我被告知不要说任何事情"[1]。而Hodge则声称："我想证明我根本不需要它，永远不会需要它"[1]。此外，Hodge在半决赛中跑出22.01秒，创造了英联邦运动会记录[1]。
Adaejah Hodge of the British Virgin Islands won the women's 200 metres gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with a time of 22.07 seconds, but the victory came amid an icy atmosphere after no one shook her hand following the race [1]. The cold reception reflects ongoing controversy surrounding Hodge's doping case and her return to competition after a significantly reduced ban.
Hodge tested positive for the banned substance GW1516 (Cardarine/Endurobol) at the U20 World Championships on August 30, 2024 [1]. She was informed of the positive result in November 2024 and initially faced a two-year suspension beginning in March 2025 [1]. However, the ban was subsequently reduced by seven months after authorities determined she had accidentally ingested the substance, allowing her to resume competing in January 2025 [1].
Australian sprinter Torrie Lewis finished sixth in the same Commonwealth Games 200 metres final [1]. Lewis had previously been elevated to the gold medal in the 200 metres at the 2024 U20 World Championships after Hodge's suspension [1]. When asked about the lack of congratulations extended to Hodge after her Glasgow victory, Lewis indicated she had been instructed not to comment publicly on the matter, stating: "I cannot say more than that, I was told not to say anything" [1]. She elaborated: "I was told I'm not allowed to say anything about this. I would like to say something, but I'm not allowed to" [3].
Hodge addressed the tension in her own statement, saying: "I want to prove that I don't need it, never will need it" [1].
