But growth hormone no be all those GLND drugs?! Japan criteria too much sef

"Those who take H.G.H. — including many doctors — say it can restore sagging physiques, flagging endurance and wilting libidos as well as cure depression and sharpen mental acuity."

This mentality of always taking shortcuts to cheat the system is ingrained in every Nigerian. Most people are only complaining about the government because they are not there. Give them the chance to be there and you will see them changing their tunes, festus keyamo and Femi Adesina come to mind

Can all these women stop the show of shame in this Olympics.

So funny how Nigerians believe anything written by their oppressors. So sad.

She just came first qualified for finals � this Olympic is bringing sad memories as usual in team Nigeria there's always complains individually these guys have prepared themselves but the Nigeria official are frustrating them!

Humans became obsessed with winning they failed to see or enjoy the process of competing .

Kingcalls:


I feel this was sabotaged.... this government knows what happened

Sabotaged....what?

The government did not tell her to take illicit drugs. She did. She did not monitor her drug intake or food intake.

The problem with Nigerians, we don't take responsibility for our bad actions.

Yeah, the athletic bodies were blasted by her...but the test dates back from 19 july...plus she most likely took an injection of the drug. (HGH can be taken orally, but it would be dissolved in the stomach before it has any beneficial effects)

So it is okay for Okagbare to take drugs?

Right.

Apart from the ten athletes who were rightly frustrated by AFN....Okagbare was not among them, she tested positive for a test done on July 19th, and she tested positive for a HGH which is given via injection.

Sorry, but this one is all on her. She made her bed, she gots to lie in it.

Haaaaa. Otiyemi bayii oooo. Blessing biko step aside. This fight no be ya own.

When that man was telling those Falcons players on the bus, some fools were insulting him. What is happening is part of what the man was saying.
Well, congrats to Sunday Dare. He just supervised the worst outing of Nigeria since time immemorial.

The thing is, for Nigeria to do well in the Olympics we have to do far more than what we are doing now.

Start by making sport popular(not just football). Change our economic system, so that we can have more revenue to put into the budget, including for sport. Start from building up access to sports in schools. It will take time...but we would get there.

Plus we won nothing in 2012 and in 1988, and even when we won something, it was in a few sports. And even in the sports we won, we did not win gold.(except football -once, and athletics-twice)

why we even go this Olympics until now no single medal naija is going,,,,,,,,

The type that Messi takes

Messi has what is called a medical exemption.

Messi has what is called a human growth hormone disorder. As a result, he did not grow as well as he should when he was a child (watch videos of him on Youtube as a child playing in kid-level matches-even then he was shorter than most kids his age)...so he had to take HGH legally. The relevant sporting and drug bodies know.(Infact he signed for Barca as a child because they were willing to pay for his treatment.All the local Argentine big clubs could not)

Read more here

The article linked above states that Messi most likely was taken off the drug as an adult.

I won't be surprise if Lie Muhammed come out tomorrow to tell Nigerians say Abacha created this problem before his death. That's not the most impressive one for me. That will be Osinbanjo just coming out to nod his head. Him nor day tok, na to just nod head. Fashola might even find a camera to prove that Abacha is the reason why she failed the drug test

No. GNLD drugs are basically multivitamin prepaarations which cannot do nothin about your normal growth hormone levels in your body.

Lol...I don't like this government, but you guys should stop blaming them for this fiasco.

Okagbare willingly took a banned substance, which by the way can only be taken by IV, and not by mouth, because she wanted to win.

It is all on her.

Blame the government for not spending more on building up our sport facilities and spending more on our athletes.

So as she talk, dem com kuku include her name..

Warri no dey carry last.... Wey dem?

Isn't it a set up

Focusmind:
Nigeria is heading for the worst Olympic games in decades

We won nothing in 2012, and one bronze in 2016.

We also won nothing in 1972, 1980, and 1988. We did not even win in 1952(when we first participated), 1956.

We won one bronze in 1960, 64...and won 2 silver in 1984, three silver and one bronze in 1992, two gold, two silver and one bronze in 1996, one gold and one silver in 2000, and two bronze in 2004, and one bronze in 2008

. The only hopeful had just failed a drug test. Nigerian Olympic committee will use this one to taunt and finish her. She has been 'yabbing' and insulting the committee, accusing them of gross incompetence.

Well, people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. She willingly took something to enhance her performance.

What type of incoherent and senseless comment is this? Did any of those people you are mentioning asked to her to dope?
You just dey type rubbish...you need to take your medication.

She is looking for shortcuts bad

The country did not allow her participate in the last Olympic games because they're disciplining her. Now, they've got her suspended.

May Nigeria not happen to us. Amen.

Buhari must add this to this numerous achievements. Nothings plus another nothing.

1.HGH cannot be taken in food or drink . It can be taken orally via tabs, but the thing would be dissolved by the stomach before it can do anything for someone.

2.HGH taken for enhancing performance...is taken intravenously.

Okagbare willingly took the drug.

3.And no, they did not add it to her sample. If they did, the drug testing would have picked it out.

It is all on her. She was tested on July 19th, out of competition, by a lab not controlled by our government or athletic bodies.

Athletics - once. Ajunwa's gold is Nigeria's only other gold.

.

Okagbare was at the Rio Olympics. She made it as far as the semis of the 100m. News of her 'ban' was denied by both the athlete and the AFN the previous year.

Buhari has to do what many leaders have failed to to...get our sports ministry to develop sports from the grassroots up. That's how other countries do it.
