A University of South Florida athlete has been banned for doping with an anabolic steroid, according to the Athletics Integrity Unit.
AIU said Goodness Iredia tested positive for metenolone at a college meet in Louisville, Kentucky, earlier this year in January. The 20-year-old Nigerian national champion won the long jump at the meet.
On March 5, AIU said Iredia admitted to the charge, which reduced his standard four-year ban to three years.
Last May, USF Athletics reported that Iredia won both events at the American Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships, going 25 feet, 2.75 inches in the long jump and 53 feet, 3 inches (seventh-best in the NCAA this season) in the triple jump.
'Cruise lights' on Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office patrol cars raise questions, confusion among drivers
Every driver knows that when you see red and blue flashing lights on a patrol car, you slow down, pull over, or get out of the way.
But in Hillsborough County, drivers will also now see deputies with their lights on, but not flashing. They're called "cruise lights," and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) recently implemented their use on all patrol vehicles.
