Doping: 3 Nigerian athletes fail drugs test

Three Nigerian athletes already in London preparing for the Olympics have tested positive for banned drugs.
Although the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), declined to name the affected athletes, on Sunday, a source confirmed that
Vivian Chukwuemeka, Lauretta Ozoh and Regina George were those who samples tested positive to banned substances.
The informed National Sports Commission source also revealed that the leadership of the Team Nigeria camp in Surrey, England has been informed and ordered to decamp the affected athletes immediately.
But affected athlete, Chukwuemeka, who just returned from a two-year ban for a similar offence, has called for the result of the test carried out on her at the African Championship in Port Novo, Benin Republic to confirm if there was no attempt to accuse her with the result of the Nigeria Olympic trials a week earlier in Calabar.
