On 21 August 2022 the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Nigerian Athlete Grace Nwokocha after she tested positive for the prohibited substances Enobosarm (ostarine) and LGD-4033 (ligandrol).
Consequently the CFF Court decided on 17 May 2023 that the Athlete had committed an anti-doping rule violation. Furthermore the results obtained by the Athlete and her team at the 2022 Commonwealth Games were disqualified.
Hereafter the case was referred to the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), on behalf of World Athletics, for determination of consequences. Previously in September 2022 a provisional suspension already had been ordered by the AIU.
Thereupon in July 2023 the Athlete and World Athlettics entered into a Case Resolution Agreement. The Athlete admitted the violation and accepted the sanction proposed by the AIU.
Therefore on 27 October 2023 the Parties agree that a sanction of 3 years is imposed on the Athlete, starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 3 August 2022.
