Take drugs, face prosecution in court--
Adamu
DIRECTOR of sports, Dr. Amos Adamu has stated that any Nigerian
athlete caught taking drugs would be made to face the full wrath
of the law in the court of justice of the land.
Disclosing this to hotsportslive.com in Lagos on Thursday
afternoon, Adamu argued that the only way that athletes can take
the campaign of abstinence from drugs seriously was for them to
face the court of law, as a means of preventing those who may
have been taking it to stop the dubious act.
