CAF Conducts Random Drug Test on Semi Ajayi Following Semifinal

Nigeria’s star defender, Semi Ajayi, was absent from coach Jose Peseiro’s post-match talk after their AFCON win over South Africa. 

The reason? A random drug test conducted by Confederation of African Football (CAF) officials.

Not a single minute missed! Ajayi has played a staggering 570 minutes across all six Super Eagles matches at the AFCON.

Ajayi, who shone brightly for the Super Eagles during their penalty shootout victory, was selected for the routine test following the 1-1 draw after extra time.
