Eight Nigerian athletes have been banned from competition for doping. 
Four of them won gold at last year's African Games in Congo's capital, Brazzaville. 
The eight are:
  • Long jumpers Chinazom Amadi and Samson Idiata 
  • Weightlifter Elisabeth Onua  
  • Wrestlers Patience Opuene and Ebi James Igbadiwei 
  • Sprinter Deborah Odeyemi  
  • Para-athletes Sunday Ezeh and Thomas Kure 
They have all been banned for four years, except for Onua who has been given an eight-year suspension for multiple doping violations.
