Amusan celebrates CAS ruling on doping allegation

Tobi Amusan of Nigeria is elated following her triumph at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, or CAS.

In an appeal that World Athletics and the World Anti-Doping Agency brought before it, the 27-year-old was found to be in the right.

Amusan shared the court’s announcement on Instagram along with the statement, “It’s all God.”

The athlete, who was born in Ogun State, was suspended in 2023 by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) for skipping three drug tests in a 12-month period.

The AIU panel later reversed the decision.

Amusan would have been suspended for two years and would not have been able to compete in the 2024 Olympics had the appeal been granted.
