Athletics: Igboka backs Eid Naser to beat dope ban Read more at: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/06/athletics-igboka-backs-eid-naser-to-beat-dope-ban/



Grassroots athletics coach, Johnny Igboka said suspended world women 400m champion, Salwa Eid Naser has always had the natural ability to run faster, and she should be able to convince the World Athletics integrity unit why she missed out of competition dope tests. Eid Naser who was discovered by coach Igboka in 2012 reasoned that there wasn’t any need for the young athlete to rely on dope to boost her chances. However, he said there could be an explanation by the Onitsha-born Eid Naser why she missed the tests.

The other athlete is Christian Coleman of the USA who won the men’s 100m. “I have no reason to doubt Eid Naser’s ability. She is a natural-born runner and she is capable of achieving the 48.14 seconds she did in Doha without resorting to banned substances.

When she was small she had this knack of not allowing any athlete who had beaten her previously to beat her twice. “I strongly believe that was the case when she beat Shaunae Miller-Uibo in the 400m final. Miller-Uibo had beaten her in the Diamond League and Eid Naser wouldn’t want to be beaten a second time; that is just her mentality. “I’m backing her to overcome the setback and compete at next year’s Tokoyo 2020 Olympics,” Igboka added.

BTC outperforms precious metals in H1 2020

BTC has shown why it remains the favourite among global investors as data from Messari, a crypto analytic firm, revealed that in the first half of 2020 BTC gained more than 27% performing better than precious metals that include platinum gold and silver. The yellow precious metal underperformed BTC by nearly 11% points, despite surging to about 16% at the first half of 2020 and touching eight-year highs last month. Platinum and silver both ended the first half of 2020 with negative gains. Bitcoin’s strong performance is no shock to some analysts, especially in context of the benchmark cryptocurrency’s showing high correlation with global equity markets. “Given that equities are now near, or in some cases above, their highs reached in February, it’s not surprising to see BTC do the same,”  said Ryan Watkins, BTC analyst at Messari.
