The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed appeals against the decision to clear Nigerian sprinter Tobi Amusan of a doping offence.This ensures that she competes in the Paris Olympics slated for July to August.Amusan, 27, the current world record holder in the 100m hurdles, was charged in July 2023 with missing three anti-doping tests within a 12-month period, a violation that could have led to a two-year ban.
World Athletics and the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the decision to CAS, which has now upheld the original ruling.According to CAS, the panel 'unanimously acknowledged that the Athlete committed two filing failures but did not confirm the existence of a missed test.'Under World Athletics' anti-doping rules, any athlete failing to declare their whereabouts for a doping test on three occasions over a 12-month period is ineligible to compete for two years.
