The Athletics Integrity Unity (AIU) has cleared Nigerian queen of the track, Tobi Amusan of an anti-doping rule violation.
In a statement on Thursday, AIU said Amusan has not committed any offence and therefore, her “provisional suspension has now been lifted with immediate effect.”
The world women’s 100m hurdles champion and record-holder will likely be representing Nigeria at the forthcoming World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
“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.”
