Tobi Amusan makes debut at World Athletics Championship Budapest

By Onjefu Odaudu

Tobi Amusan is set to take part in her first race at the World Athletics championships holding in Budapest on Tuesday.

She will be competing in Heat 5 of the 100 metres race.

Her participation is coming after she was cleared to run by the Athletics Integrity Unit(AIU).

The AIU in a Tweet said “a panel of the Disciplinary Tribunal, by majority decision, has today found that Tobi Amusan has not committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) of three Whereabouts Failures within a 12-month period.”

Tobi had faced allegations of violating anti-doping rules.

The athlete had earlier protested her innocence.

In a facebook post, she said “I am a clean athlete and I am regularly; (may be more than the usual) tested by the AIU-I was tested within days of my third ‘missed test.

“I have faith that this will be resolved in my favour and that I will be competing at the World Championships in August.’
