Justice has prevailed: Nigerians celebrate as Tobi Amusan wins anti-doping case against WADA
The reactions after Tobi Amusan's doping-violations clearance by the CAS has got Nigerians in ecstasy as their hurdling queen can now fully focus on the Paris Olympic Games.
CAS has dismissed the appeals filed by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) and WADA, upholding the decision made by the World Athletics Disciplinary Tribunal last August, which found Amusan not guilty of any anti-doping offenses.
In its verdict, the CAS panel unanimously concluded that while Amusan had committed two filing failures, there was insufficient evidence to support the alleged third whereabouts failure, which would have resulted in a two-year ban.
