VIDEO: Super Falcons star detained for doping after Zambia win
Following the victory over Zambia, Super Falcons defender Michelle Alozie experienced a delayed departure from the stadium after being selected for a mandatory doping test.
Super Falcons defender Michelle Alozie had to linger behind at the venue following a rigorous shift. Selected randomly for a mandatory post-match doping test, the standout full-back delayed her exit after anchoring a resilient backline.
Her stellar defensive display earned her the official player of the match award as Nigeria picked up their first win in the ongoing tournament.
Nigeria secured a vital 1-0 victory over Zambia to revive their Women’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign and Alozie was a part of the solid defensive unit that proved too tough to crack for the Copper Queens.
Asisat Oshoala netted the lone winner, while the squad dug deep to protect their lead despite playing over fifty minutes with ten players following Tosin Demehin’s red card. Alozie eventually departed the stadium after completing her protocols.
