Dutch sprinter
Solomon Bockarie (born 18 May 1987), sometimes Solomon Bayoh (born 18 May 1990),[1] is a male Dutch sprinter. He competed in the 4 × 100 metres relay at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics in Beijing, China.[2] He competed in the 2016 Summer Olympics.[3]
He was born in Makeni, Sierra Leone and is a naturalised Dutch citizen.
Bayoh represented Sierra Leone at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. He competed at the 200 metres and placed eighth in his first round heat in a time of 22.16 seconds, which was not enough to advance to the second round.[1] He was one of three competitors at the Olympics competing for Sierra Leone. Michaela Kargbo and Saidu Kargbo were the others.[4] He again represented his birth nation at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[5]
In 2022, he failed an out-of-contest drugs test, on the basis of testing positive for the growth hormone GHRP-2; he has claimed that this was due to eating chicken contaminated with the hormone.[6][7]
