The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has decided to conduct a random drug test on Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen, following his outstanding performance in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023.
Osimhen was the key player in the Super Eagles’ 2-0 victory against Cameroon in the Round of 16 match, held on Saturday.
During the match, Osimhen showed his exceptional skills and determination to win the ball, which helped his team to secure a win.
He dispossessed a Cameroon defender of the ball and made a low pass to Lookman, which resulted in the opening goal of the match.
Osimhen’s tireless efforts and constant pressure on the Cameroon defense made him a constant threat throughout the match.
CAF’s decision to pick Osimhen for a random drug test is not unusual, as it is a standard practice to ensure a level playing field for all players.
Typically, players are selected through a drawing of lots for every matchday squad.
However, in some cases, players can be picked randomly if there is any suspicion of unusual behavior.
In conclusion, the CAF’s decision to conduct a random drug test on Victor Osimhen is a standard procedure that reflects their commitment to maintaining a level playing field for all players in the tournament.
