The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), has expressed dissatisfaction by the clearance of Tobi Amusan by the Disciplinary Tribunal’s decision.
Recall that Amusan had approached the Disciplinary Tribunal to contest her suspension by AIU concerning her whereabouts failures charge.
Although, AIU lifted Amusan’s suspension the body is not satisfied with the outcome and will now appeal the case.
The body, in a release on its official website, threatened to challenge the judgement of the Tribunal, which
cleared Amusan of Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) of three whereabouts failures levelled against her, at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
“A panel of the Disciplinary Tribunal, by majority decision, has today found that Tobi Amusan has not committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) of three Whereabouts Failures within a 12-month period. AIU Head Brett Clothier has indicated the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) is disappointed by this decision and 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 decision is currently confidential but will be published in due course. Amusan’s provisional suspension has now been lifted with immediate effect,” the statement read.
