- Amusan takes to her Instagram account to thank both God and her supporters for their backing
- The tribunal’s decision allows Amusan to participate in the World Athletics Championships without any doping-related restrictions
Nigerian sprint sensation Tobi Amusan expressed her elation after an Independent Tribunal granted her clearance to participate in the upcoming World Athletics Championships.
Amusan had been accused of three whereabouts failures, which constitutes an anti-doping rule violation for missing out-of-competition tests within a one-year span. The Nigerian athlete contested this allegation.
Nonetheless, a disciplinary tribunal panel concluded yesterday that Amusan was not in breach of any anti-doping rules.
In a majority ruling, the 26-year-old was found innocent of the charges brought against her.
In response to the decision, Amusan took to her Instagram account to extend her gratitude to God and all those who stood by her side.
She said, “Thank you Daddy. 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.
“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 you all for the support.”
