Melbourne, Oct 12 (PTI) Australian sprinter Sally Pearson, who lost the Delhi Commonwealth Games'' women''s 100m gold to dope-tainted Osayemi Oludamola, has ridiculed her rival saying that the Nigerian''s drug test is "a joke". Pearson was the original winner of the race but was disqualified for making a false start which led to the passing of the gold medal to the second-placed Oludamola. But Oludamola has tested positive for banned stimulant methylhexanamine and Pearson sarcastically said she is happy to have run the race "drug free". "It''s just a joke you know," said Pearson. "I don''t know how you can accept a medal knowing what you''ve done to yourself. But I''m happy I''m out here running drug free," she was quoted as saying by ''The Australian Associated Press.'' Oludamola''s A sample tested positive for methylhexaneamine - set to be downgraded to "non specified" status from next year - and officials are still awaiting the results of her B sample.
