Divine Oduduru, who is being tried for attempting to take an illegal substance, declares in court, "I am innocent."

Despite Divine Oduduru's assertions of innocence during the trial, the Disciplinary Tribunal rejected them. While being tried by the World Athletics Disciplinary Tribunal, Divine Oduduru asserted his innocence, saying that he was the victim of a plot to get him implicated.Sadly, the panel rejected this because the key evidence in the Athletics Integrity Unit's (AIU) case was photographic proof of numerous prohibited substances found in Oduduru's Florida apartment and WhatsApp messages between Blessing Okagbare and Lira, which showed Okagbare soliciting them on Oduduru's behalf.
