Nigeria’s Glory Onome Nathaniel is set to be stripped of her women’s 400 metres hurdles gold medal from the 2018 African Championships after she was given a four-year doping ban by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU).<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old, who reached the semi-finals of the 400m hurdles when representing her country at the 2017 International Association of Athletics Federations World Championships in London, has been sanctioned after she tested positive for stanozolol.<\/p>\n

Nathaniel\u2019s ban has been backdated to August 30, 2018, the date on which the AIU notified her of the Adverse Analytical Finding via the Athletics Federation of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

She has also had her results from August 5, 2018 to August 30, 2018 disqualified.<\/p>\n

Nathaniel underwent an in-competition test on August 5 following her victory in the 400m hurdles at her home African Championships in Asaba.<\/p>\n

The Athletics Integrity Unit has issued a decision against Nigerian hurdler Glory Onome Nathaniel for a violation of the @iaaforg Anti-Doping Rules. #CleanSport #AIUNews
