Tobi-Amusan-Diamond-League

Former world champion and three-time Diamond League winner Tobi Amusan seems unbothered by the latest move by the Athletics Integrity Unit to challenge her racing status after the body appealed their disciplinary panel’s decision to clear her of doping violations.

The AIU provisionally suspended Tobi Amusan for three whereabouts failures in a year, but a disciplinary panel overturned the suspension, which allowed her to compete at the World Championships last month, where she finished sixth.

On Sunday, the Nigerian hurdler ended the season on a high as she won her third consecutive Diamond League title in a season’s best time of 12.33s at the Prefontaine Classic – on the same track in Eugene, Oregon, where she won her world title and set a new word record of 12.12s in 2022.

While the AIU came out on Monday that it had filed an appeal on her clearance, the Nigerian is relishing some of the things that contributed to her consecutive Diamond League triumphs.

On Tuesday, she posted a picture mix of her Diamond League wins in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and captioned it, “All glory to El Roi. Keeping my natural hair for every Diamond League final may have its own good luck effect too.”
