Irish reporter Cathay Dennehy asked Tobi Amusan for details on her wherabouts failure in the mix zone at WC’s. She refused to answer him and then muttered, “this white motherf**”.
Should World Athletics address her racist comments as not acceptable and suspend her for a period?
Nothing will happen
True or false ?
they should but they wont
Alright I saw the video, I think she thought he was antagonizing her. On one hand this sport is nothing more than running from point a to point b, there’s no half time or throwing or tricks involved, it can get pretty boring. So it’s logical he asked her about the 3 strikes. But on the other hand he shouldn’t have phrased it as “charges” and said more neutral language.
Anyone with 3 strikes is a PED cheat. Should not be missing a single test and the missed test loophole enables drug cheats to avoid tests where they may pi$$ hot, essentially defeating the purpose of the testing itself.

She suspended her own legacy. Such a shame for a world record holder to fall from grace so quickly.

She never said that, she is from Nigeria and there is No Racism against White there, They are Nice People, I have met some, They Get Straight A's in School, Many I Know are from the IGBO Tribe, I have not heard any, Hate Remarks against Whites, The Ones I know agree with me that onlt Women can get Pregnant and are not fans of LGBTQ, So Props to the people of Nigeria
If she insulted someone and used something about the colour of their skin then IMO that's serious, especially on live TV.

Is chinese whispers racist? If not, that's the link
I certainly haven't seen a video of her saying the 'white' bit, anyway, the internet is huge, will keep looking.

OP fail.
I have watched three editions of the same interview. I am sure it happened, but need to hear it for myself. Apparently there was terrible secruity at Budapest as one friend or fan or relative of Amuson's got in, barged her way to the front and started fan-girling her with leading questions and assumptions. It was very cringe-worthy. The question is, how did this woman get in? No security? You have to apply to be working media at a global championships. What if the person was dangerous?

Why?
Good point. rephrase:
I am sure it is plausible....etc.
I would first want to hear or see that in audio. Witch hunts without proof should stop really. That said africa is way more racist than the west. Whitie as a positive or negative racial remarks are common
