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.
