The athletics body on Tuesday unveiled 22 athletes for the competition that will run from August 19 to 27 with Amusan conspicuously missing even as all the athletes that made their mark and meet up with the required time during the AFN’s trial at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, Edo State, were listed for the Budapest championships.

 

Recall that the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) had handed Amusan a provisional suspension for allegedly missing drug tests.
