An athlete at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow has tested negative for Ebola, organisers have confirmed.
A spokesman for Glasgow 2014 said the competitor was given tests for a number of conditions after he fell ill last week and was admitted to hospital.
Sierra Leone road cyclist Moses Sesay, 32, competed in his event, the men’s individual time trial, on Thursday.
The spokesman said: “There is no Ebola in the Athletes’ Village of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
“We can confirm an athlete was tested for a number of things when he fell ill last week, including Ebola.
A spokeswoman for Health Protection Scotland added it was an isolated incident and no other athletes were tested.
“No one has tested positive for Ebola in Scotland,” she said.
Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland about how Scotland is dealing with any potential Ebola cases, Dr Colin Ramsay, of Health Protection Scotland, said: “There’s been no programme of actively screening athletes simply because of the Commonwealth Games.
Sesay’s home country, where more than 200 people have died from the disease, has declared a public health emergency.
World Health Organization (WHO) director general Margaret Chan will meet the presidents of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea later to discuss the outbreak of Ebola in west Africa.
The WHO is hoping that public health organisations around the world will help provide several hundred more medical staff needed to treat the victims of the fever.
