Världsmästaren stängs av för dopningsbrott – missar OS
Sprintstjärnan och regerande världsmästaren på 100 meter, Christian Coleman, stängs av i två år för dopningsbrott, rapporterar TT. Han kommer därmed att missa OS i Tokyo nästa år.
Amerikanen har haft brister i sin så kallade vistelserapportering gällande dopningsbrott, meddelar antidopningsorganisationen Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU).
Coleman missade två test – ett i januari 2019 och ett i december samma år, skriver The Independent.
