THE Anti-Doping Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (the CAS ADD), Tuesday confirmed the provisional suspensions imposed on Nigerian woman boxer, Cynthia Temitayo Ogunsemilore.
CAS said, Cynthia Temitayo Ogunsemilore was registered to take part in the Olympic Games Paris 2024 in the Women’s Boxing 60 kg category.
Cynthia Temitayo Ogunsemilore had failed an out-of-competition test a day before the official opening ceremony of the Games.
There was the presence of Furosemide in her sample.
“Such substance is prohibited by WADA at all times and is classified as a “Specified Substance” under S.5 Diuretics and Masking Agents of the 2024 WADA Prohibited List.”
The single judge of the CAS ADD held a hearing with the parties on Sunday 28 July 2024 and issued his decision later the same day, confirming the provisional suspension imposed by the IOC on Cynthia Temitayo Ogunsemilor a day earlier and continuing through the duration of the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
