Athletics Federation of Nigeria is facing a fresh doping crisis, as a member of the Nigeria women 4x100m at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham has failed a dope test.
The team featuring Tobi Amusan, RoseMary Chukwuma, Favour Ofili and Grace Nwaokocha, won the gold with a new African record of 42.10s. But this would now amount to nothing as the anchor of the race Nwaokacha is in the dope dragnet.
The Athletics Federation of Nigeria has been notified of the development by the World Anti-doping agency as the confirmation of the B sample is still being awaited. As a rule the team would be stripped of the medal and the performance, if the athlete is not exonerated.
AFN President, Tonobok Okowa, expressed shock at the turn of event saying: “I’m not yet aware of any positive test, but that would be shocking.”
