CAS clears Amusan ahead of Paris Olympics

Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan received a significant boost a few weeks before the 2024 Paris Olympics as the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed appeals challenging the decision to clear her of a doping violation.

Amusan faced accusations of missing three doping tests within a year.

The AIU’s rules state that an athlete who misses three whereabouts tests within 12 months is guilty of an anti-doping rule violation, and the penalty for this is a two-year suspension.
