Osimhen took his energetic performance for the three-time AFCON champions to new levels against Cameroon. He was literally everywhere for the Super Eagles, leading the attack, triggering counters, coming back to defend, and creating chances for his teammates.
The Napoli sensation provided the assist that saw Ademola Lookman fire the Super Eagles pass the Indomitable Lions.
Osimhen's brilliant and prolific outing for Nigeria had won him widespread acclaim as well as curiosity from CAF, the organizers of the tournament.
As per Photojournalist Pooja, Victor Osimhen has been subjected to multiple drug tests by CAF to ascertain the integrity of his athletic prowess.

Meanwhile, soccernet reveals Osimhen was not only tested during the Cameroon match but during the match against Guinea-Bissau as well.
Other Super Eagles players were also subjected to the tests, including players from other national teams.
