The 26-year-old Nigerian track and field sensation had been provisionally suspended by the AIU in July due to her failure to adhere to whereabouts requirements, which mandate athletes to provide information about their locations for out-of-competition testing.

However, on Thursday, August 17, the AIU officially lifted the suspension, clearing Amusan of any wrongdoing related to her whereabouts lapses.

Expressing her relief and excitement, Amusan turned to her Facebook page to share the news with her followers.

“This morning, I found out that the independent tribunal that heard my case has ruled that I did not violate the whereabouts rules and as a result I will not be sanctioned and none of my results will be precluded.”

“I am thrilled to put this behind me, and I look forward to defending my title at next week’s World Championships. I generally have been and consistently will be an ally of clean sport. To my five fingers, God is the greatest and I genuinely appreciate y’all for the support,” she wrote.
