Nigeria's national 100 metres champion Favour Ofili will not compete in the Paris Olympics because, she says, the national athletics federation failed to register her in time.

According to the Olympic press service, Ofili missed the Tokyo Games because Nigeria failed to meet the minimum testing requirements for a number of its athletes, as required by the Athletics Integrity Unit.
