Okagbare, a former Commonwealth Games gold medallist, won
her first-round heat of the women’s 100 metres in Tokyo before being forced to
withdraw when her test results were announced.
“The athlete has been charged with the presence and use of a
prohibited substance following of Human Growth Hormone in a sample collected
out-of-competition on 19th July in Slovakia and reported to the AIU on 30th
July,” the AIU said in a statement.
It said Okagbare had also tested positive for the
endurance-boosting drug EPO in a test in Nigeria on June 20.
Okagbare denies all the charges and has requested that each
of them be submitted to a disciplinary hearing, the AIU said.
