Tobi Amusan remained suspended, says World Athletics

Posted : 14 August 2023
The World Athletics on Sunday reacted to the news flying around that Nigeria's 110m hurdles superstar, Tobi Amusan has been cleared of the allegations against her saying that the world record holder has yet to have the all-clear to defend her title at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary next week.

The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has had her name on the standby for the upcoming competition as a result of the doping investigation.

The World Athletics included Amusan’s name in the world athletics championship list, leading to reports that she had been cleared.

But in a statement on Sunday, the world’s athletics body said it had not cleared the Nigerian star for the competition.

“Please be advised – reports that say Tobi Amusan has been cleared to compete in Budapest are wrong,” Nicole Jeffery, World Athletics’ Head of Communications, said in a statement.

“No decision has been made in this case yet. When a decision is made, it will be announced by the Athletics Integrity Unit.”

Recall that World Athletics included the 26-year-old Nigeria’s name in the entry list for the Budapest Championships published last week but with a proviso that her participation would depend on the outcome of the whereabouts failure charge preferred against her by the AIU.

The AIU has said a decision regarding the matter will be made before the start of the World Championships.
