Nigerian athlete Grace Nkwocha has been handed a three-year ban by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) for using prohibited substances.
Nkwocha was a member of the quartet that won gold for Nigeria in the 4x 100m race at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
The athlete had been provisionally suspended in September 2022 after she failed a doping test conducted on her during the games.
The sanction was announced on the AIU official twitter handle now called X.
It would be recalled that Blessing Okagbare and Divine Oduduru are among the Nigerian athletes currently serving bans for anti-doping violations.
