Nigerian sprinter Blessing Okagbare has been banned for 10 years for doping in the lead-up to the Tokyo Olympics and refusing to co-operate with the investigation, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said on Friday, effectively ending her career.

The 33-year-old had competed in the 100m heats in Tokyo on July 31 and was due to run in the semi-final before being suspended. In January, Lira was the first to be charged by US prosecutors under the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act for distributing performance-enhancing drugs including hGH to athletes at the Tokyo Games.
