BREAKING: TOTTENHAM WOMEN’S CHIOMA UBOGAGU GETS 9 MONTH SUSPENSION AFTER ANTI-DOPING VIOLATION
Chioma Ubogagu of Tottenham Women has been charged with an anti-doping violation and has been suspended for nine months.
A statement from the club read: “Before joining the Club, Chioma was prescribed two types of acne medication by a personal doctor in the United States.
“The 29-year-old continued to take the medication to treat her skin condition after she arrived without the knowledge that the medication was prohibited.
“In November 2021, Chioma requested a repeat prescription from the Club doctor who alerted the relevant bodies; the FA and UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) about the use of a banned substance.
“The FA accepts that Chioma did not take the medication, spironolactone, with a view to intentionally securing an illegal advantage.
“Both the Club and Chioma fully cooperated with the FA and UKAD during the disciplinary process and Chioma has been unavailable for selection since the provisional suspension was imposed in January.”
