Fidelis Gadzama (born 20 October 1979) is a Nigerianathlete and Olympic medalist.
Gadzama was a part of the Nigerian team that received a silver medal in the 4 × 400 metres relay at the2000 Olympics inSydney.[1]
The Nigerian team finished second behind theUS team, which has later been formally disqualified from the 4 × 400 meters relay event at the 2000 Olympics by theInternational Olympic Committee, due to one of the team members' use of illegal performance-enhancing drugs while competing in Sydney.[2]
On 21 July 2012, the 2000 Olympics 4 × 400 m relay medals were reallocated after the USA team was stripped of the gold medal, meaning Gadzama and Nigeria are the gold medalists.[3]
In May 2014, he was elected as aLabour PartyMerton London Borough Councillor forCannon Hill.[4][5]
