Botswana relay team member faces doping ban

Information reaching Mmegi Online is that the athlete (names withheld) was part of the team that competed at the 2023 Budapest World Athletics Championships and was expected to travel with the team to the 2024 World Athletics Relays in Bahamas.

The National Anti-Doping Coordinator, Fredrick Seno confirmed that the athlete has been informed about the outcome of the test. “The test was conducted in Gaborone before the athletics team left for Budapest last year,” Seno said, observing that it was unfortunate that the country continued to experience positive tests although anti-doping education sessions have been conducted with the athletes.
