Tobi Amusan is feeling very positive after receiving approval to participate in the 2023 World Athletics Championships.
The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) granted Amusan permission to join the competition on Thursday.
Having previously faced a suspension due to her absence from three out-of-competition tests, the 26-year-old athlete from Ogun State can now actively defend her 100m women’s hurdles championship at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
Furthermore, she holds the world record for this particular event.
“This morning, I found out that the independent tribunal that heard my case has ruled that I did not violate the whereabouts rules and as a result I will not be sanctioned and none of my results will be precluded,” Amusan wrote on her Facebook page.
“I am thrilled to put this behind me, and I look forward to defending my title at next week’s World Championships.
“I generally have been and consistently will be an ally of clean sport.
“To my five fingers, God is the greatest and I genuinely appreciate y’all for the support.”
The 2023 World Athletics Championships will start on Saturday.
