The World Athletics has disclosed that women’s 100m hurdles world champion and record holder, Tobi Amusan, has not yet been cleared to compete at this year’s World Championships, which begins on August 19 in Budapest, Hungary. This is in reaction to reports that the Nigerian had been given the go ahead to compete to defend her title at the championships. Amusan was provisionally suspended last month by the AIU for missing three whereabouts tests. Head of Communications of World Athletics, Nicole Jeffery, in a statement obtained via Nigerian track and field club Making of Champions said, “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.” In the entry list published by World Athletics, the women’s 100m hurdles world record holder was listed among Team Nigeria’s athletes, but her participation is still subject to clearance by the AIU. With a decision expected to be made before the start of the championships, the Athletics Federation of Nigeria said it was awaiting the AIU’s verdict on the hurdler.
