Blessing Okagbare has had her ban extended as Nigeria’s 4×100m relay team lose their qualification spot for the World Athletics Championships in Oregon, United States.
According to the Athletics Integrity Unit, Okagbare’s 10-year ban has been extended by a year after she was found to have committed additional anti-doping rule violations.
The 33-year-old is said to have evaded sample collection, tampered, or attempted to tamper with the doping control process.
She was charged for her latest anti-doping rule violation on June 10, 2022.
Following her latest sanction, Okagbare seemed to respond with a cryptic message on social media.
