The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) has reportedly banned Nigeria’s 4x400m women’s relay team from attending the 2016 Olympic Games holding in Rio, Brazil in a few weeks because one of the team members, Tosin Adeloye, tested positive to drugs during the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA) Super Grand Prix/Warri Relays in Warri, Delta State on July 24th last year.
According to ThisDay Newspaper, the women’s 4x400m team has also been disqualified by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) due to the doping case, while Adeloye had been banned for 8 years.
Other members of that Nigerian team include; Regina George (first leg), Funke Oladoye (second leg) and Patience Okon-George who anchored the team to place fourth.
Going by IAAF rule, all the results she achieved during the period after the test individually and jointly will be annulled.
