CAF Picks Osimhen for Random Anti-Doping Test After AFCON 2023 Performance
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has chosen Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian national team player, to undergo a random anti-doping test after his outstanding performance in Saturday’s Round of 16 match against Cameroon in the ongoing AFCON 2023 tournament.
Also, Osimhen played a pivotal role in the Super Eagles’ 2-0 victory, demonstrating his relentless determination to secure possession of the ball. In one particular instance, he skillfully dispossessed a Cameroon defender and delivered a precise pass to Lookman, resulting in the opening goal.
Throughout the game, Osimhen consistently posed a threat to the Cameroon defense, relentlessly chasing after every ball and maintaining an unwavering presence on the field.
His tireless efforts have garnered the attention of CAF, leading to his selection for a random anti-doping test. Typically, players are chosen through a lottery system that includes all the players in a matchday squad. However, random selection can also occur if any unusual behavior is observed.
Additionally, Osimhen primarily plays as a striker and is known for his speed, agility, and goal-scoring ability.
