Nigerian athlete Tobi Amusan cleared of anti-doping violation

AIU will determine whether to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) within the given time frame.
As read in the statement provided, the details of the decision are currently confidential but will be made public soon. Consequently, Amusan’s provisional suspension is lifted immediately.
“The decision is currently confidential but will be published in due course.
Amusan’s provisional suspension has now been lifted with immediate effect,”
With her innocence established, Amusan will now participate in the World Athletics Championships, commencing this Saturday in Budapest, Hungary.
