Tobi Amusan, the Nigerian 100m hurdles world record holder, has had her suspension overturned after it was determined that she had not violated anti-doping rules due to missed tests.
The 26-year-old was expected to miss the World Athletics Championships, which begin this weekend in Budapest.

After an Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) disciplinary tribunal hearing, she can now defend her world championship.
She was accused of failing three doping tests.
The two-time Commonwealth Games gold medalist denies using performance-enhancing drugs.

“A panel of the disciplinary tribunal, by majority decision, has today found that Tobi Amusan has not committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation of three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period,” the AIU stated in a statement.

Amusan wrote on Instagram, “I’m thrilled to put this behind me and look forward to defending my title at next week’s World Championships.”
Amusan established the women’s 100m hurdles world record in 12.12 seconds at the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon in July 2022.

According to World Athletics’ anti-doping rules, any athlete who fails to notify their whereabouts for a doping test three times in a 12-month period is barred from competing for two years, subject to a reduction to a minimum of one year depending on the degree of fault.
