She was part of the relay team that set a Nigerian second best record of 3:23.27 seconds which ensured the team’s qualification for the Olympics.
Her test result now means that her time set during the race will not count and the team will be disqualified as a result. Regina Goerge who was able to raise $4,000 through crowdfunding will be disappointed at the development.
According to Complete Sports, “Nigeria’s two other fast times of 3:29.94 achieved in Durban last month and the 3:31.27A achieved in Nairobi in April 2015 will not place among the best 16 nations eligible to compete in Rio.”
