<h2>Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has reportedly tested negative for a doping test.</h2>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> reported earlier that the <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/01/29/victor-osimhen-other-nigerian-players-undergo-doping-tests-in-2023-afcon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Napoli forward was subjected to multiple doping tests</strong></a> at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cote d'Ivoire due to his efforts so far at the tournament.</p>
<p>Osimhen has always been known for his unlimited display of stamina, unwavering strength, and readiness to go the extra mile for his team.</p>
<p>The 25-year-old player has maintained this outstanding performance at the 2023 AFCON, though he has not scored as many goals as he regularly does.</p>
<p>Osimhen has scored just a goal and provided two assists in the Eagles’ last four <strong><a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/afcon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AFCON games</a></strong>, but his overwhelming team play has caught the attention of many.</p>
<p>Due to the enormous energy he poured into Nigeria’s 1-0 win over Guinea-Bissau on January 22, the reigning African player of the year was reportedly subjected to multiple doping tests.</p>
<p>Though initial reports claimed that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) subjected him to doping tests after Nigeria’s 2-0 win over Cameroon on January 27, <strong>Naija News</strong> gathered that the tests took place after the Super Eagles’ game against Guinea-Bissau.</p>
<p>Reports emerging on Tuesday revealed that not only Osimhen, but two other Super Eagles players who were tested for the drug test came out negative.</p>
<p>The two other players tested from Jose Peseiro's squad are forward, Ademola Lookman and captain William Troost-Ekong.</p>
<p>The Super Eagles are scheduled to play their quarter-final match against Angola on Friday.</p>
