The AIU has stated that they will review the reasoning in detail before deciding whether to exercise its right of appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) within the applicable deadline.
The 26 year-old who is the world record holder in 100m hurdles, was suspended on July 19, 2023 by the AIU for three Whereabouts Failures which is a violation of the World Athletics Anti-Doping Rules.
The AIU confirms that it has today charged and provisionally suspended Tobi Amusan (NGR) for 3 Whereabouts Failures.
The Charge will be heard by the Disciplinary Tribunal and determined before the World Athletics Championships.
