Amusan is off the hook as Athletics Integrity Unit’s appeal period lapses

BY KUNLE SOLAJA.

The 30-day period of appeal opened to the Athletic Integrity Unit (AIU) to contest World Athletics’ lifting of the provisional ban on Tobi Amusan has lapsed this Saturday.

When last August the provisional suspension was lifted, AIU was disappointed and vowed to review the reasoning in detail before deciding whether to exercise its right of appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) within the applicable deadline.

AIU Head, Brett Clothier indicated the Monaco based body was going to appeal. The deadline has now expired. David Howman also told reporters at the last World Athletics Championship in Budapest: “We have some concern that it might set a precedent which will be difficult for future cases.”
