World 100m champion Christian Coleman hit with two-year ban

  • Runner will miss next year’s scheduled Tokyo Olympics
  • Narrowly avoided ban last year for missing doping tests

Christian Coleman will miss the Olympic Games in Tokyo next year after the world 100m champion was banned for two years after two missed drugs tests and a filing failure in 2019.

Coleman had disputed one of the missed tests, saying he had been out Christmas shopping but had returned during the one-hour window required to be tested. But an athletics disciplinary panel rejected the sprinter’s explanation and banned him until 13 May 2022.
