How Divine Oduduru popularly known as “I never expected it” got Banned by AIU
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has suspended Nigerian sprinter Divine Oduduru for possession and use of a banned drug.

Oduduru was identified as the second athlete linked to discredited therapist Brian Lira, following fellow countryman Blessing Okagbare.

His suspension is a result of Lira’s criminal case from January 2022 after Okagbare was provisionally suspended during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, preventing her from competing in the women’s 100-meter semi-finals after winning her heat.

Lira was prosecuted in the United States under the Rodchenkov Act, which authorizes criminal charges to be brought against people determined to have violated anti-doping rules, and faces up to ten years in jail.

He supplied performance-enhancing medications to the Olympians via encrypted messaging.

Oduduru was disqualified from the men’s 100m heats at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics for a false start, and then nearly missed the men’s 200m final.
