Spoiler Alert:3 Nigerian female athletes fail drug test at the London Olympics

If reports reaching us are anything to go by,then the Nigerian athletic team representing us at the London Olympics  might have started on a sour note.

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.
