Abstract: In this paper, we consider two particular binomial sums �egin{align*} sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(20k^2+8k+1){�inom{2k}{k}}^5 (-4096)^{n-k-1} end{align*} and �egin{align*} sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(120k^2+34k+3){�inom{2k}{k}}^4�inom{4k}{2k} 65536^{n-k-1}, end{align*} which are inspired by two series for $frac1p{i}^2$ obtained by Guillera. We consider their divisibility properties and prove that they are divisible by $$ for all integer $ngeq2$. These divisibility properties are stronger than those divisibility results found by He, who proved the above two sums are divisible by $$ with the WZ-method.
