Ousted Nigeria Olympic rage

- Gabrielle Fonrouge

Nigerian athletes protested in Tokyo on Friday after they were disqualifi­ed from the Olympics for failing to meet anti-doping testing requiremen­ts.

Ten would-be Olympians were banned from competing in the track and field competitio­n after Nigerian sports officials allegedly failed to properly register them for three mandatory tests, Nigeria’s Premium Times reported.

The Athletics Federation of Nigeria noted no Nigerian athlete tested positive for prohibited substances.
