Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan has received the all clear to participate in the World Championship commencing this weekend in Budapest Hungary.
The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) initially had earlier suspended Tobi Amusan for allegedly missing three consecutive tests but has now given her the go ahead to represent Nigeria at the World Championship.
She appeared before the jury Thursday and she got a favourable verdict.
Tobi Amusan had declared her resolve to clear herself of the allegations. she said, “I am a clean athlete, and I am regularly; (maybe more than the usual) tested by the AIU,’’ the 26-year-old athletics sensation posted on her Instagram page on Wednesday after the charge.
“I was tested within days of my third `missed test’. I have faith that this will be resolved in my favour and I will be competing at the 2023 World Championships in August,’’
“I intend to fight this charge and will have my case decided by a tribunal of three arbitrators before the start of next month’s World Championships,’’
Amusan ran the fastest time ever in the hurdles at 12.12 seconds in the semi-final of the women’s 100m hurdles and in the final she recorded 12.06, it was adjudged to be wind aided. The stunning delivery left the world spellbound.
