Shot putter, Vivian Chukwuemeka revealed that her morale is permanently trampled, as she eagerly wants to clear her name, after she became entangled in a fresh dope mess on her return, from a   2-year suspension.

Chukwuemeka stole the show at the African Championships in Port Novo, Benin Republic with a best throw of 18. 86m to set a new African record. She was looking forward to participating at the London 2012  Olympics Games, but Athletics Federation of Nigeria officials pulled the plug on her with the news that she had tested positive to banned substances from the All Nigeria/ Cross River Championships in Calabar.

“I’m still in shock. I cannot believe this is happening again,” said the Delta-born athlete.

She submitted that she has written to the AFN for over a month with the hope of getting to the bottom of the matter, based on her hunch that there must have been a mistake somewhere down the line.

“How is it that I tested positive in Calabar and not Port Novo, is it possible? The system is bad.

“I feel that someone or some people did not want me in London. They need to look at the doping committee.

I’m waiting for my B sample then I will open up,” said the athlete.

Commenting on the issue, AFN technical director, Omtasheye Nesiama stated that the AFN was equally shocked at the turn of events for the athlete.

“It is very sad how things have turned out for her. This is because the president and I encouraged her a lot to come back to the sport,” said Nesiama a Navy Captain.
