 Nigeria’s 2008 long jump silver medalist, Blessing Okagbare, has reacted to the decision of the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) to hand her a 10-year-ban for doping violations.


 


The 33-year-old, who is also a sprinter, was expelled from the Tokyo Olympics last year before the women’s 100m semi-finals after testing positive for human growth hormone at an out-of-competition test in Slovakia on July 19.

On Friday February 18, the AIU announced its decision to place her on a 10-year ban after she was found guilty.


 


Taking to her Instagram page to react to this decision, Blessing said her lawyers are studying it for their next line of action.
