Hurdles world record-holder Amusan charged with anti-doping violation
PARIS, France (AFP)— Women’s hurdles world record-holder Tobi Amusan said Wednesday she has been charged with an alleged anti-doping rule violation.
“Today the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has charged me with an alleged rule violation for having three missed tests in 12 months,” she said in a post on Instagram.
Amusan, a Nigerian, set the current world record for the women’s 100m hurdles of 12.12 seconds at last year’s World Athletics Championships.
The hurdler, 26, vowed to resolve the charges against her before this year’s competition, which is set to be held next month in Budapest.
“I intend to fight this charge and will have my case decided by a tribunal of three arbitrators before the start of next month’s World Championships,” she said.
