How Long Ago Did Blessing Okagbare Start Using HGH?

With the revelation that Blessing Okagbare was doping, people are looking back at her highlights from the past few months. Back in April, Blessing Okagbare clocked a 10.97 100m at USATF Grand Prix. With that finishing time Blessing Okagbare set second-fastest women’s 100m dash in the entire world for 2021. Was she doping back then too?

This is some older footage from 2019. She’s been dominating the 100m sprints for a long time.

Blessing Okagbare has been suspended from the 2021 Olympics, and there no details on how long her suspension will last. This is a severe violation that puts the integrity of Nigeria’s entire Olympic program under a microscope. How deep does the rabbit hole go with this? Is this really an isolated incident?

Whenever you see an athlete get caught doping, it makes you wonder how many don’t get caught.
