Anti-doping authorities are seeking a six-year ban against four-time NCAA champion Divine Oduduru of Nigeria, whose alleged cheating was uncovered in the first case brought by U.S. authorities under a sweeping law designed to combat doping schemes.
FILE - Divine Oduduru, of Nigeria, walks from the track after he was disqualified for a false start in his heat of the men's 100-meters at the 2020 Summer Olympics, on July 31, 2021, in Tokyo.
The Athletics Integrity Unit, which oversees anti-doping in global track, announced Thursday that the 26-year-old sprinter, who ran for Texas Tech, has been provisionally suspended for possession and use or attempted use of multiple prohibited substances. Oduduru did not immediately respond to messages left on his social media accounts by The Associated Press.
