Amusan Dedicates Victory At CAS To God
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Following recent victory at the Court of
Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ,Tobi Tobi Amusan has dedicated her victory to God.
Amusan’ s victory at the
Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was over missing-out-of-competi-
tion test.
On Friday, the
Court of Arbitration for
Sport cleared Tobi Amusan,
world record holder in 100
metres hurdles, of an an-
ti-doping rule violation, rejecting appeals from World
Athletics and the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The world champion was
charged with a violation due to “whereabouts failures”
to complete three drug tests
within a 12-month period and the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) provisionally suspended her in July 2023.
Amusan wrote on her
Instagram post, “It’s ALL
GOD” alongside the court
announcement.
CAS said in a media re-
lease on Friday that its panel unanimously found that
Amusan had committed two filing failures but did not confirm a missed test that would
have constituted her third “whereabouts failure.

Edo guber: LP’s Akpata remains a front runner, set to capture Edo
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.
Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.
For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.
THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.
He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.
There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….
A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.
The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.
