AFCON : Doping Test,Jubilation across Nigeria as 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-d+ping 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 D+ping Control Officer will conduct the sample collection in their capacity as a CAF D+ping 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-D+ping Regulations.

However, the CAF D+ping Control Officer is authorized to select additional players for sample collection without giving any reason.
