Amusan Cleared by World Athletics to Participate in Budapest 2023

Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan who was initially suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has been given clear bill to participate in the World Championship starting this weekend in Budapest Hungary.

The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) initially suspended Amusan for missing three consecutive tests but has now given her the go ahead to represent Nigeria at the World Championship.

Amusan appeared before the jury Thursday and she got a favourable verdict.

Amusan ran the fastest time ever in the hurdles at 12.12 seconds in the semi-final of the women’s 100m hurdles and in the final, she recorded 12.06, it was adjudged to the wind aided.

And ahead of the Budapest 2023 contest Amusan is the woman to beat, but her suspension in July cast a shadow on her pursuit to retain the title. She had posted 12.34 seconds after a slow start to the season.

Nia Ali leads the world ahead of Budapest athletics with a record of 12.30 seconds. Jasmine Camacho-Quinn and Kendra Harrison have 12.31 season best.
