AIU takes Amusan’s case to CAS

The verdict clearing Nigerian hurdler Tobi Amusan of a breach for skipping drug testing was challenged by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU).

According to the anti-doping authorities, an appeal was sent to the Court of Arbitration for Sport late last week.

Amusan was temporarily banned because she had missed three tests in a year.

The penalty was eventually lifted by an appeal body, allowing the Nigerian to take part in the global championships earlier this summer when she placed sixth.

The 26-year-old might receive a year or more of suspension if proven guilty.

Last weekend, Amusan won the Diamond League title for the third year in a row.
