The female Athletes tested positive for banned substances, and are barred from the London Olympics.
Three Nigerian athletes already in London preparing for the Olympics have tested positive for banned drugs.

Although the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), declined to name the affected athletes, on Sunday, a source confirmed that Vivian Chukwuemeka, Lauretta Ozoh and Regina George were those who samples tested positive to banned substances.

The informed National Sports Commission source also revealed that the leadership of the Team Nigeria camp in Surrey, England has been informed and ordered to decamp the affected athletes immediately.

But affected athlete, Chukwuemeka, who just returned from a two-year ban for a similar offence, has called for the result of the test carried out on her at the African Championship in Port Novo, Benin Republic to confirm if there was no attempt to accuse her with the result of the Nigeria Olympic trials a week earlier in Calabar.

“Chukwuemeka, who knows that if this result is true she will get a life ban from IAAF, has called for the result of her dope test at the African Champion. If that one is negative, then it means something is wrong somewhere. But if it also tests positive, that is automatic life ban for her, ” revealed the informed the top NSC source.

Ozoh may also share Chukwuemeka’s fate as a second offender. Only George may get a lighter ban as a first time dope offender.

Billyonaire: What is this banned substance. Agbo or alomo bitters ?

twinstaiye: Inside AFN stinks. How come it is ladies that are failing this dope tests? Perhaps some of this ladies are not dancing to the tune of their sexual demands? These needs probity, because I can recalled the case of Vivian during her first drug tests ordeal, she cried out, but Nigerians are not interested in her cry, If I can remeber far back, she hinged her drug failure on her adamant to refuse young athletes who are not as good as her to take her place, and that some of these young athletes had the backing of the AFN officials. Na wah for this country, must everything has to be on God fatherisms

TheShopKeeper: Every athlete do take controlled substances occasionally, only the foolish ones get caught.

stagger: Sometimes it is bad advice or rather, non-advice from the medical team. They are supposed to inform athletes what is legal and what is not.

For instance, one of the drugs I take for my blood pressure problem contains a banned substance. Supposing I was an athlete and was taking it for my blood pressure, can I be accused of deliberate doping? In such instance, it is the job of the doctor to give me a substitute so I can take care of my problem without running foul of the rules.

I really think some of these things are cases of athletes not being familiar with what they should or should not take.

toluxe0075: Most of d athletes tested positive 4 drugs are not aware they are on drug, there are some food pple eat and after eating such food one is likely to b positive 4 drugs when tested for drugs, so athletes need to b becareful on wat they eat....i don't blame dose that were positive buh if they are truly on drug na dem sabi o
