AFCON Doping Test: CAF clears Osimhen, others ahead of clash with Angola
Nigeria Super Eagles trio Victor Osimhen, Moses Simon, and William Troost-Ekong came out clean after an anti-doping test was conducted on them at the ongoing AFCON in Côte d’Ivoire.
According to the Guardian, the test carried out on them did not detect any presence of a prohibited substance.
This means the three players are clear to feature for the Eagles against Angola in the quarter-finals on Friday.
According to CAF, it is mandated that the football body’s Doping Control Officer will conduct the sample collection in their capacity as a CAF Doping Officer following the COVID-19 new measures.
In principle, two players from each team will be tested at the end of each match by the CAF/FIFA Anti-Doping Regulations.
However, the CAF Doping Control Officer is authorized to select additional players for sample collection without giving any reason.
