Blessing Okagbare: How She Reacted To Her Ten Year Ban
Onyxnewsng reports that Nigeria’s 2008 long jump silver medalist, Blessing Okagbare, has reacted to the decision of the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) to hand her a 10-year-ban for doping violations.
The 33-year-old, who is also a sprinter, was expelled from the Tokyo Olympics last year before the women’s 100m semi-finals after testing positive for human growth hormone at an out-of-competition test in Slovakia on July 19.
On Friday February 18, the AIU announced its decision to place her on a 10-year ban after she was found guilty.
