”The federation has taken this proactive step to avoid future occurrences by appointing Professor Ken Anugweje as the head of the Medical and Anti- Doping Commission of the Federation,” Tonobok Okowa, the President of the AFN, said in a statement signed by him. The commission, and other sub-committees of the AFN, however, became moribund during the last AFN administration headed by Ibrahim Shehu-Gusau.
The AFN president assures that the federation has put in place appropriate measures to comply with Rule 15 of the Anti-Doping Rules of World Athletics and explained why the 10 athletes did not receive the clearance to compete at the game from the AIU.“All our athletes resident in Nigeria and who qualified for the Olympic Games completed the three mandatory tests. Most of our top athletes resident in the USA also completed their tests,” Okowa said in the statement.
