Amusan also vowed to resolve the charges against her before this year’s competition, which will be place in Budapest next month.
The 26-year-old Nigerian athlete revealed this in an Instagram post.
“Today, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) charged me with an alleged rule violation for missing three tests in 12 months,” she stated.
“I intend to contest this charge and will have my case decided by a tribunal of three arbitrators before the start of the World Championships next month.”
The latest incident has called Amusan’s participation at the global championships next month into question.
At last year’s World Athletics Championships, Amusan set the current world record for the women’s 100m hurdles of 12.12 seconds.
