World Athletics has confirmed that Nigeria's track star Tobi Amusan is not cleared yet to compete at the World Championships in Budapest.
Contrary to reports circulating Nigerian media in the past few days that Tobi Amusan is cleared to compete at the World Championships in Budapest, World Athletics has declared it's false news.
The Athletics governing body through Nicole Jeffery, World Athletics Head of Communications, made this clarification in an e-mail message to accredited journalists set to cover the championship in Budapest.
"Please be advised – reports appearing in Nigeria that say Tobi Amusan has been cleared to compete in Budapest are wrong. No decision has been made in this case yet. When a decision is made, it will be announced by the Athletics Integrity Unit,’ wrote Jeffery in the message.
Amusan, the World Record (WR) holder in the women's 100m Hurdles, was provisionally suspended by the AIU last month for charges of three missing tests doping violations.
