Untold Reason Osimhen Was Picked For Drug Test After Taming Cameroon’s Lions

The Confederation of African Football has picked Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen for a random drug test after his sterling outing against Cameroon in Saturday’s Round of 16 match of the ongoing AFCON 2023.

Osimhen was the driving force in the 2-0 win for the Super Eagles with his desperation to win the ball. On one of such instances, Osimhen dispossessed a Cameroon defender of the ball and made a low pass to Lookman for the opening goal.

He chased down every ball and remained a constant threat to the Cameroon defence throughout his time on the pitch.

The tireless display of Osimhen has attracted the attention of CAF, leading to his being picked for a random drug test.

Usually, players are picked by drawing of lot for all the players in a matchday squad.

However, a player can also be picked randomly for a drug test if they notice any unusual behaviour as Osimhen demonstrated in the taming of the Lions last Saturday.

GWg.ng reports that Kelechi Ihenacho who did not play but was dressed for the encounter was the other player who was picked for the random drug test.

GWG.ng Sports Desk that the taming of the Cameroonian Lions by the Super Eagles of Nigeria again brought the football folklore between the two countries to another perspective with Nigeria becoming the victor in recent matches over their noisy neighbours to the east.
