Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Athletics Integrity Unit and dropped the doping charges levelled against her.
The panel which sat on Thursday, found Amusan not guilty of “Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) of three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period.”
The statement read, “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.
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.”
She is now cleared to defend her 100m hurdles World title in Budapest, Hungary next week. She will be hoping to clinch the title again or even break her own world record.
