- Runner will miss next year’s scheduled Tokyo Olympics
- He narrowly avoided ban last year for missing drug tests
Christian Coleman, the world’s fastest man, will miss the Olympic Games next year after being told his explanation for one of three missed drug tests was “simply impossible” as he was handed a two-year doping ban.
The American sprinter, who powered to 100m victory at the world championships last year, had claimed he had been out Christmas shopping in December 2019 when testers arrived at his house, but had returned during the 60-minute time slot for testing.
