Nigerian Tobi Amusan’s Suspension Lifted With Immediate Effect Athletics Integrity Unit

Nigerian Tobi Amusan, who currently holds the women’s 100 meters hurdles world record with 12.12 seconds, had her provisional doping.

Suspension lifted with immediate effect, according to the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU).

A majority decision by a disciplinary tribunal panel concluded that Amusan, who had been provisionally suspended since last month for missing three drug tests in a span of 12 months, did not commit any anti-doping rule violation.

Amusan on social media said she was thrilled to put the issue behind her, while looking forward to defending her title at next week’s world championship.

Amusan, 26, became the first Nigerian world champion in July last year at the world championships in Eugene, Oregon, after she sliced 0.08 seconds off of the previous world record in the semifinal.

She will kick start her title-defending campaign next Tuesday in Budapest, Hungary, with a second best time this season in the world (12.34seconds) behind Olympic Gold Medalist Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico (12.31 seconds).
