Nigerian sprinter Nzubechi Grace Nwokocha, who won gold in the 4x100m relay at this year's Commonwealth Games, has been provisionally suspended for the use of banned substances, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said on Saturday.

Nwokocha, 21, ran the anchor leg in Birmingham last month as Nigeria beat England and Jamaica to take gold.

"The AIU has provisionally suspended Nigerian runner, Nzubechi Grace Nwokocha, for the Presence/Use of Prohibited Substances (Ostarine & Ligandrol) (Article 2.1 and Article 2.2)," the body said in a statement on Twitter.

Ostarine and Ligandrol are both anabolic agents prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

A provisional suspension means an athlete is temporarily banned from competition before a final decision is taken at a hearing conducted under WADA rules.

Nwokocha qualified for last year's Tokyo Olympics and also entered the 100m and 200m at the world championships in Eugene this year, reaching the semi-finals in both events.

Too bad

This will really be sad

Look at what desperation could cause. Did she not know that those substances are banned? Now the final decision will be that Nigeria has been stripped off it's gold medal in the 4 by100 meters relay at the commonwealth games.

This is very bad, well we move. Our major problem now is 2023. Let INEC deliver free fair and credibl Election.

You beat England and Jamaica and you expect them to just leave you with your gold. They will keep testing and retesting Tobi Amusan for that record she broke which BBC claimed she used a shoe that made her fly instead of run on the ground
