LIVE UPDATES
Nigerian athlete Tobi Amusan is suspended over alleged violation of anti-doping rules.
The suspension comes after she was charged with missing three drug tests.
The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) made the announcement on July 19, just hours after Amusan had confirmed that she was facing anti-doping violation charges.
The provisional suspension means that she will not be allowed to participate in any competitions until the matter is resolved.
In a tweet, the AIU stated, "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."
Amusan, who is known for her outstanding performances in the hurdles, will now have to navigate the disciplinary process as she seeks to clear her name and prove her innocence.
The provisional suspension adds further uncertainty to her participation in future events, including the World Athletics Championships slated for August this year.
As the news spreads, the athletics world awaits further updates on the case and hopes for a fair and transparent resolution to determine the athlete's fate.
