Tobi Amusan has been a shining light for Nigeria in several Athletic tournaments, breaking several records in previous years.

She was recently suspended from participating in the ongoing Athletic tournament in Budapest after failing to appear three times for a doping test.

However, she was cleared of doping charges after finding out that she did not commit an Anti-Doping Rule Violation according to the Disciplinary Tribunal. 

She has been granted permission by the AIU to participate in the Athletic tournament in Budapest after being cleared of doping.

The Nigerian sprinter has been known for defending her world title in previous Athletic tournaments and we take a look at why she will defend her world title again in this tournament.
