Nigerian Sprinter provisionally suspended, missed weekend's 100m

Continuing a troubling week for the Nigerian Athletics team, Olympic medallist sprinter Blessing Okagabrae missed Saturday night's Women's 100m sprint after testing positive for a human growth hormone.  

As was reported on Friday 10 of 20 athletes barred from competing in the Olympic athletic program by the Athletics Integrity Unit ('AIU') were Nigerian out of the nation's entire athletics team of 23.

Sports Law Combine specifically mentioned Blessing Okagbare, who won a silver medal in the long jump at the Beijing Olympics, in Friday's article as one of the Nigerian athletes not ruled ineligible, before this surprising development was announced.
