Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen is trending again, but not because of his football achievements or transfer rumours.

A popular doctor on Twitter shared concerns about how often Osimhen is seen eating in people’s homes during his visit to Nigeria. The doctor pointed out that, as a professional footballer, he should be more cautious because of strict anti-doping rules.

The post referred to Paul Pogba, whose career suffered after he tested positive for a banned substance in 2023. Although Pogba’s suspension was later reduced, he lost his Juventus contract and has struggled to make a comeback.

The doctor explained that anti-doping rules work on strict responsibility. This means that even if a banned substance enters an athlete’s body by mistake or through sabotage, the player will still be held accountable. A meal that was unknowingly spiked could ruin a footballer’s future.

The warning wasn’t just a theory. The post mentioned various banned substances, like steroids and masking agents, that can cause automatic suspension if detected in a player’s system. This kind of risk can damage a career overnight.
