Nigerian Sprinter, Blessing Okagbare has been handed an extra one-year ban for additional doping violations.
The Athletics Integrity Unit charged her with evading sample collection and tampering or attempted tampering with the doping control process.
In February, Okagbare was handed her original ban for multiple breaches of anti-doping rules.
As a result of her additional ban, Nigeria has lost its potential qualification place in the women’s 4x100m relay at July’s World Championships in Oregon.
Spanish Club, Villarreal, has joined the list of clubs interested in Nigerian forward, Umar Sadiq. Sadiq is in hot demand across Europe after spearheading Almeria’s return to the Spanish topflight last season. The 25-year-old has scored 38 goals in 76 appearances for the Rojiblancos since he arrived at the club in 2020. Benfica, Ajax Amsterdam, and Spanish clubs, Sevilla and Valencia have also been linked with the striker.
