00:00 Pole vault star EJ Obiena says he's ready to move forward after Anais Lavillani, wife
00:05 of former Olympic champion Renaud Lavillani, apologizes for accusing him of doping.
00:11 In a social media post, Obiena says, "This for me closes this matter," including a signed
00:16 letter of Anais.
00:17 Also, a former pole vaulter, Anais says she deeply regrets posting the doping accusation
00:22 on the Facebook page of VOLTR Magazine two weeks ago.
00:25 Obiena accepts the apology after vehemently denying the accusations the past weeks, saying
00:31 he already cleared 34 drug tests conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency, including
00:36 11 this year.
00:37 He even submitted himself to two separate lie detector tests to prove his point.
00:42 Obiena says he's ready to put everything behind as he focuses on the 2024 Paris Olympics.
