CAF Initiates Random Drug Test for Victor Osimhen Following Outstanding Performance Against Cameroon


 

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has picked Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen, for a random drug test after his sterling performance against Cameroon in the Round of 16 match on Saturday, January 27, of the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d'Ivoire. 


In one of such instance, Osimhen dispossessed a Cameroon defender of the ball and made a low pass to Adebayo Lookman for the opening goal. He chased down every ball and remained a constant threat to the Cameroon defense squad throughout his time on the pitch. His tireless display and energetic pace have attracted the attention of CAF, leading to his being picked for a random test, Vanguard reported. Usually, players are picked by drawing of lot for all the players in a matchday squad. However, a player can also be picked randomly if they notice any unusual behaviour.


Orisa Oluwagbenga Olushola said: "Drogba say dem need to run test on Osimhen sey he dey pursue opponent as if sey dem thief him property." Israel Iheanyi Didia suggested: "NFF stand up and defend Victor." Sunday Sop Uwaegbuobi said: "The thing dey shock them." 


He stated that his team was better in the encounter but could not be clinical in front of goal. Song, in a post-match briefing with the press, said: “They were not better than us, they just used their chances and we were affected by our inexperience and not doing what we are supposed to do."
