"WE ARE NOT JUST ALTERNATE BUT ARE POTENTIAL MEDALISTS" - DISQUALIFIED NIGERIAN ATHLETES PROTEST IN TOKYO

Nigerian athletes who were disqualifted from competing in Olympic Games have sorted to protesting on the streets of Tokyo.

This disqualification was due to to their failure to andertake the mandatory three out of competition tests expected of athletes taking part in the competition.

Responding to this, the Sports Ministry labelled those affected as 'alternate and foreign students athletes, whose tests did not meet with sample collection and analysis standards.

Athletes however did agree to the excuse given as they agitate that they shouldn't suffer because the expected bodies didn't do the jobs right.
