The Athletics Integrity Unit has cleared Tobi Amusan after she was found not to have broken anti-doping rules.
The 26-year-old Nigerian 100m hurdles world record holder is now set to compete at the 2023 World Athletics Championships, which begins on Saturday in Budapest, Hungary, the AUI had provisionally suspended Amusan in July, after being accused of missing three doping tests.
The suspension was lifted on Thursday. In a statement the AUI said, “A panel of the displinary tribunal, by majority decision, has today found that Tobi Amusan has not committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation of three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period.”
Reacting to the news on social media, Amusan wrote “this morning I found out that the independent Tribunal that heard my case has ruled that I did not violate the whereabouts rules and as a result, I will not be sanctioned and none of my results will be precluded.”
“I am thrilled to put this behind me, and I look forward to defending my title at next week’s world championships. I generally have been and consistently will be an ally of CLEAN SPORT.”
“To my five fingers, God is the greatest and I genuinely appreciate y’all for the support…” she added.
