An Olympian, Henry Amike, on Saturday described the series of drama trailing Team Nigeria at the ongoing 2020 Tokyo Olympics Game as a big disappointment.
“It is obvious that Okagbare was not tested before she competed for the qualifiers at Yaba, because there is no way it won’t be detected. NAN reports that Nigerian top athlete, Blessing Okagbare, was on Saturday suspended provisionally for doping. The results of that test were only received by track and field’s anti-doping body late Friday after Okagbare finished top in Heat 6 in a time of 11.05 seconds while United Kingdom’s Asha Phillips finished second in 11.31 seconds and Bahamian athlete Tynia Gaither came third in 11.34 seconds.Elias Gora, the Chef’ de Mission at the New Delhi Commonwealth Games told NAN that, often times, athletes lack the support for them to give sterling performance.
