She will appear before a three-man arbitration panel to clear her name before the Budapest 2023 World Championships in August.<br \/>\nAFN President, Tonobok Okowa, yesterday, described the situation as \u2018sad,\u2019 but added that Amusan is not out of the Budapest 2023 World Championships yet.<br \/>\n\u201cI have not been myself since the news broke out last night,\u201d Okowa told Tidesports source\u00a0 in a telephone chat, on Wednesday . \u201cI don\u2019t think she is out of the World Championships yet. It will depend on what happens at the arbitration panel. Our prayer now is for the AIU to give Tobi fast hearing. If she is cleared before the World Championships, then she can compete for us. But I am really worried.\u201d<br \/>\nTechnical Director of the AFN, Samuel Onikeku, also said that he hopes Amusan is cleared of the doping violation charges filed against her by the AIU.<br \/>\n\u201cI hope she comes out of it, but there is nothing we (AFN) can do,\u201d Onikeku stated. United States-based sprinter, Grace Nwokocha, who was stripped of her Commonwealth gold medal last week over drugs related offences, stated that something has to be done urgently to stop the growing trend of suspension and ban on Nigerian athletes.<br \/>\n\u201cSomething is definitely not right somewhere and no one is ready to put a contest with these people,\u201d she said in a message to The Guardian. \u201cThis hatred is increasing daily and everyone is acting cold on it. What I can sense here is that they are trying to bring Africans down because they look down on us too much,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), on\u00a0 Wednesday, said it is seriously disturbed by charges of doping violation filed by World Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) against Nigerian sensation, Tobi Amusan.
