Jude Monye

Jude Monye (born 16 November 1973) is a Nigerian athlete who specializes in the 400 metres.

While attending school, he won the diversity visa lottery and was allowed to become a legal permanent resident of the United States.

Monye was a part of the Nigerian team that won the silver medal in the 4 x 400 metres relay at the 2000 Olympics.

However, Antonio Pettigrew acknowledged that he had used performance-enhancing drugs, along with two other members of the relay team, and was therefore stripped of his medal.
