The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has provisionally suspended Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan for allegedly missing drug tests.
AIU announced the punitive decision via its Twitter handle on Wednesday, July 19.
The tweet read: “The AIU confirms that it has today charged and provisionally suspended Tobi Amusan (NGR) for 3 Whereabouts Failures. The Charge will be heard by the Disciplinary Tribunal and determined before the World Athletics Championships.”
On its website, the international body explained that an athlete who misses tests within a period of 12 months is guilty of anti-doping rule violation, and the penalty includes suspension for two years, which may be reduced to a minimum of one year depending on the degree of fault.
