BREAKING: Blessing Okagbare suspended after testing positive for banned substance - Punch Newspapers

Nigerian top athlete, Blessing Okagbare, has been “provisionally” suspended for doping on Saturday.

The body said Okagbare tested positive for the prohibited substance in an out-of-competition test on July 19 – four days before the Olympics opened. “Growth Hormone is a non-specified substance on the 2021 World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List and a provisional suspension is mandatory following an adverse analytical finding for such substance under the World Athletics Anti-Doping Rules.

Just because she spoke up earlier this week. They want to sacrifice her. Fear Nigerian leaders

Our Olympic outing this year, is a clear definition of the man in Aso Rock, 'Total Failure'. That is what he represents! Bad luck.

Good things can never come out from MBuhari s NigeriaGov. He's bad luck, because his last regime as worse as this

Damn 😢

Nigeria Olympics run has been a pure disaster. This government is cursed

Punch get agidi,You pple should hv at least use 'Human Growth Hormone' like other News did instead of writing 'banned substance' using HGH would cover our shame small bcos not everyone will pay attention. Hw wil my dear country be trending for this kind thing dis early morning.

I can see the enthusiasm and nationalism to achieve laurels in Blessing but Pls girl stop disturbing yourself about Nigeria because it's not worth dying for!

This is truly a sad news. She has been my favourite for about a decade. I still don’t understand why she did this. She’s a renowned athlete who has alfeatured in hundreds of events. She know the rules. Besides, she could have easily been amongst world’s best seven.

Another wonderful talent wasting because of a failed system

When it rains it pours. The country needs a reboot in everything. This nation is under judgment.

The only athlete way we dey manage say we go get hope for a medal, AIU don suspend her... E no go o!

This is really sad I hope this is not a plot against Nigeria

Our hopes of a medal in the mud

You can how bad things get for this country Nigeria

I wonder who cursed the country Nigeria

To think she was doing well now this

Mama don smoke loud before competing 😂

Nija .....everywhere you go!?!

Worst Olympic ever

How old is she? How many Olympics has she attended? Controlling for age, should she still be as fit as she is as an athlete?

Her suspension stemmed from her test submitted on July 19th of which the result came out positive yesterday (Friday).

They kicked her out cos she spoke up! ... banned substance like what?

This country na wa

The minister should just resign without further delay!

I think she was tested because she spoke up.

Just don’t believe these “banned substance” stuff like that no more

Nigeria is a terrorist nation if you represent them, you are supporting terrorism it doesn't matter who you are or where you came from

Good, anything about Nigeria should not be protected because it has expired

Olympics 1- 0 Nigeria

Motor has finally jammed egungun for express.🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️

Why must our representatives bring shame to us home and abroad, we are being shamed by those meant to be our ambassadors. There has never been a respite of happiness under this regime, o ga o!

Chai I was rooting for her

Nigeria must stop wasting tax payers money to feature in the Olympics! The administrators are grossly incompetent and only interested in the millions they can siphon into their personal accounts in the name of running sport federations. As for the athletes, it is complicated!

😢

Oh mehn! Just when you think it can't get any worse..

Too bad.
