Nigeria track sensation, Blessing Okagbare, has finally reacted to the statements credited to the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU)
The reports filtered in on Friday evening that the Nigeria star has been hammered with 10 years ban for doping violations.
Since the release of the statement, no response has been heard of Okagbare or her associates until Saturday afternoon.
” 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,” she wrote.
She may have to appeal the ban if she hopes to continue participating in the athletics events, if not it means that Okagbare is automatically out of the upcoming Commonwealth and the Olympics games.
