Nigerian sprinter Blessing Okagbare has been handed an extra one-year ban for additional doping violations to add to her existing 10-year suspension.
The Athletics Integrity Unit charged her with “evading sample collection, and tampering or attempted tampering with the doping control process”.
In February, the 33-year-old was handed her original ban for “multiple breaches of anti-doping rules”.
She was suspended during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics after failing a drug test.
As a result of Okagbare’s additional ban, Nigeria has lost its potential qualification place in the women’s 4x100m relay at July’s World Championships in Oregon.
