LEXSETTERS SECURES BAN REDUCTION FOR ENYIMBA INT'L FC'S OLADAPO AUGUSTINE

We are delighted to have represented Enyimba International Football Club ("Enyimba") at the Confederation of African Football ("CAF") Disciplinary Board ("Board") in respect of the ban on Enyimba's player, Oladapo Augustine ("Austin"). Austin was banned from all football activities by the Board after a urine test conducted on him (prior to the match between Pyramids FC (Egypt) Vs. Enyimba played on 16th May 2021) revealed a prohibited substance (prednisolone/prednisone) in Austin's urine. Following our appeal to the Board, which was heard on 8th September 2021, the Board issued a decision on 22nd September 2021 reducing the 12 months ban to 6 months. Austin will resume football activities on 4th January 2022. The firm was duly represented by our Sports and Entertainment Practice Group, led by Amobi Ezeaku.
