Tobi Amusan, the world record holder in the 100 meters women's hurdles, is now free to continue her career after the 30-day appeal period closed for the Athletic Integrity Unit (AIU). World Athletics had lifted the provisional ban on Amusan just days before the Budapest 2023 World Championships.
The AIU had expressed disappointment with the verdict and hinted at a possible appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). However, the AIU's deadline for appeal has now expired.

Amusan, undeterred by the previous suspension, is currently in Oregon to compete in the prestigious Diamond League final. Her preparation for Budapest 2023 was significantly impacted by the ban, and she finished sixth in the 100m hurdles final at the World Championships.
It remains uncertain whether Amusan will pursue legal action against the AIU in response to the suspension. Her resilience in the face of adversity is commendable as she looks ahead to future competitions and continued success in her career.
