Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan, world champion in the 100m hurdles, has finally been cleared to compete at the forthcoming world championships in Budapest.
The Athletics Integrity Unit, which handles doping cases in track and field, on Thursday cleared her of doping violations and the provisional suspension on her lifted.
“A panel of the Disciplinary Tribunal, by majority decision, has today found that Tobi Amusan has not committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) of three Whereabouts Failures within a 12-month period,” the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said in a Thursday evening statement.
“AIU Head Brett Clothier has indicated the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) is disappointed by this decision and will review the reasoning in detail before deciding whether to exercise its right of appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) within the applicable deadline.
“The decision is currently confidential but will be published in due course. Amusan’s provisional suspension has now been lifted with immediate effect.”
“I am thrilled to put this behind me, and I look forward to defending my title at next week’s world championships,” was posted on Amusan’s social media.
She added, “I generally have been & consistently will be an ally of CLEAN SPORT.”
