Nigerian Para powerlifter Omotola Eniola Falodun has been hit with a four-year ban by the International Paralympic Committee after failing a drugs test.
An in-competition urine sample provided by Falodun on February 6 2020 revealed the presence of prohibited steroids.
The substances in question were the anabolic steroids 19-norandrosterone and 19-noretiocholanolone which are used to quickly build muscle mass and are included on the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned list.
Falodun was competing at the World Para Powerlifting World Cup in Nigerian capital Abuja a day before the sample was collected.

Falodun finished in 81st overall and was the 24th best female in the field, registering a score of 115 points.
As a result of the anti-doping rule violation, Falodun will be ineligible to compete until February 5 2024.
Any results, medals, points and prizes achieved by the powerlifter from the date of the sample collection will also be disqualified or forfeited.
