Scotland and England face losing Commonwealth Games women’s 1500m T54 gold and silver after the race result was overturned and the decision taken to stage it again on Friday after an appeal.
Scottish Para-athlete Melanie Woods set a new Games record in streaking to victory in her home city on Wednesday, and England's Ellis Kottas took silver, but the event was marred by a first-lap crash.
Woods took gold ahead of Kottas and Mikaela Dingley of Australia, but the ceremony was not due to be held until Thursday, so none of the athletes were actually presented with medals.
Team Scotland said they "note the decision" and confirmed that both Woods and team-mate Joanna Robertson will compete in the restaged race.
Kottas also addressed the issue on Instagram, saying she is "low-key traumatised", while Team England added that they are "incredibly disappointed".
