AFCON 2023: Victor Osimhen Anti-Doping Test Result Is Out (DETAILS)

The anti-doping tests carried out by CAF on football stars Victor Osimhen, Moses Simon, and William Troost Ekong have yielded a positive outcome, absolving them of any banned substances.

Victor Osimhen, the reigning African player of the year, showcased remarkable stamina and strength in Nigeria’s recent 1-0 victory over Guinea-Bissau on January 22.

In response to the outstanding energy levels displayed by Osimhen and other key players, random doping tests were conducted as part of the standard procedure.

Contrary to initial reports, these tests occurred after the Super Eagles’ game against Guinea-Bissau, not following the 2-0 win over Cameroon on January 27.

Key players like Moses Simon and William Troost-Ekong, pivotal in Nigeria’s progress in the 2023 AFCON, also underwent random doping tests.

This practice is routine in global football tournaments, particularly for players demonstrating exceptional strength.
