She was targeted.
If she was running for the United States of America, they would have shielded her.

She is ageing ...let her go and retire...at least you have already achieved a lot in the sports... because of this sport she did not want to have a baby for now... and her husband had problem with her for her refusal for her husband to impregnant her inorder to give birth to a child/ baby....she said until when she retires from the sport then she will start having children...but the husband cannot wait till when ever she decides to retire from the sports

nonsense. lance armstrong na white. he lied many times, until all him gang con expose it all.
sounds like bill clinton: i did not have sex with that girl. until dem con blow everything.
e be like say even carl lewis may not be clean. maybe even usain bolt dey take:


Lewis conceded in an interview in 2003 that he tested positive to three banned stimulants but claimed "the climate was different then."
Johnson, a Canadian, said Lewis’ nationality was the reason he retained his two gold medals from the Seoul Olympics.
"(He) Tested positive several times but he’s been protected," Johnson said. "Because he's American.
And your point is?

She wasn't targeted though we will always remember what she did for us.

Chijindu Ujah who was in the 4x100m men's relay for Team GB today was also found guilty by CAS. GB finished 2nd in the Olympics and now all 4 of them will relinquish their medals and Canada steps up to 2nd. His own was discovered August 27 after the Olympics.

His ban hasn't been decided yet but he will get a lesser ban because he owned up to it, admitting that he mistakenly took a contaminated substance.

Ujah's apology below:-

Thank you very much. I was about explaining that, the ban will end this year.

Let us not be emotional. There are rules to these things and perhaps some good lawyer.

- If there is an intention to cheat, you get 4 years.

- If you show reason(s) that it was done out of negligence or you had no direct faults, you get one year.

I will give an example, Andre Onana: He had a headache and took paracetamol drugs meant for his wife, without knowing the brand had some banned substances, he was subsequently banned for 9 months but that is football, In athletics, the least is a year. He even took the doctors to his house to show them the drugs he took before they called his attention that those drugs looked alike but were different from the brands he should have taken.

- If you can show you had no fault and the drug is one of the WADA's contaminated substances, you get two years.

Again, if you are discovered to have taken multiple prohibited substances, you can get more than 4 years, I.e. more than one substance laced with another shows a deliberate plan to cheat.

Okagbare's own was 'multiple prohibited substances' and it was something she took with a regimen that is to say....intention to cheat.

When she was called to testify and co-operate, she refused to show up till date. She was asked to turn in her phone, she also refused. The man, Lira who gave her those drugs was caught in the US and all the messages between himself & Okagbare was intercepted. It was obviously clear, they were in on it all this while.

She will get a reduced sentence if she goes to CAS but nothing less than 8 years. Marion Jones did it the same way and got a life ban and lost all 5 medals, and was in Federal Prison for sometime.

For Tyson Gay, he took an anabolic steroid and was supposed to be banned for two years but he co-operated. His Olympic medal stripped off him. He mentioned Companies, athletes, location and everybody he knew was involved. He got a year, many still feel he could have gotten more though.

my point is, this is a widespread problem in sports. people that are insulting black or russian athletes should remember how lance armstrong, a white american cheated the whole world for almost 10 years, and they still protect their coaches and sports authority. how can someone use drugs for 10 years in a sport and they didn't detect it huhhuh?

armstrong would have gotten away if it wasn't for a born-again member of his team who blew the whistle, and the america aithorities complied and pretend as if they never knew. they've always know and they protected him. all of them take medications for heart condition that improves the blood-flow. it is called sports politics. they blow the whistle on those they don't like

However, the man who gave her the drugs was caught and his phone seized. She even encrypted the messages.

The man is a mercenary, not only Okagbare sef.
