The hope of Nigeria getting more medals at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games was jeopardised on Tuesday following the suspension of Latifat Tijani.
She was suspended for three years for doping. She tested positive for testosterone.
The out-of-competition urine sample was collected on August 6. Tijani is the reigning Paralympic champion and silver medalist at Rio 2016 in the -45 kg category.
All results obtained by the Athlete from the date of sample collection until the start of the provisional suspension will be cancelled, with all the resulting consequences, including the confiscation of his medals, points and prizes.
