‘My lawyers are on it’ – Blessing Okagbare reacts to 10-year doping ban
Blessing Okagbare has reacted to the 10-year doping ban issued to her by the Athletic Integrity Unit (AIU) for breaching multiple anti-doping rules.
In a press statement yesterday, the AIU announced that its disciplinary tribunal had prohibited the Nigerian sprinter from participating in World Athletics-sanctioned track and field event for the next 10 years.
The 33-year-old athlete got a five-year ban for the presence and use of multiple prohibited substances and another half-a-decade for her refusal to cooperate with the AIU’s investigation of her case.
Reacting to the development in a tweet posted today, Okagbare acknowledged the ban, adding that her “lawyers are currently studying it for our next line of action”
“My attention has been drawn to the statement issued by the AIU regarding its disciplinary panel decision. My lawyers are currently studying it for our next line of action, which we will inform you soon,” the tweet reads.
