After a standout performance in the AFCON 2023 Round of 16 against Cameroon, Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen, has been selected for a random drug test by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Osimhen’s dynamic play was instrumental in the Super Eagles’ impressive 2-0 victory, where his tenacity on the field stood out.
His key contribution included dispossessing a Cameroon defender and setting up Lookman for the opening goal.
Given Osimhen’s relentless pursuit of every ball and consistent threat to the Cameroon defense, CAF decided to subject him to a random drug test, a testament to his impactful presence on the pitch.
While random drug tests typically involve drawing lots for players in a matchday squad, exceptional performances or unusual behavior can also prompt players to be chosen randomly.
Osimhen’s remarkable display has not only caught the attention of fans but also triggered scrutiny from the governing body.
