AIU to Appeal Doping Violations by Tobi Amusan

The Athletic Integrity Unit (AIU) has begun the process to appeal against the decision to clear Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan of doping violations.

This is coming just after the Nigerian successfully defended and won the Diamond Athletics 100m Hurdles Championships in Budapest two days ago.

After Amusan failed three whereabouts control tests within 12 months, the AIU earlier in July charged her with breaking the anti-doping regulations and placed her on a provisional ban from all athletic events.

However, a month later, an Independent Disciplinary Tribunal found Amusan innocent of all charges.

The AIU later decided it would appeal the decision of the tribunal at CAS, the international authority that settles issues related to sports through arbitration.

The body made this known on Monday via their official X account (formerly Twitter).
