American provisonally banned for whereabouts failure Coleman accuses AIU of trying to get him bannedThe world 100m champion Christian Coleman has been told that going on a
Christmas shopping trip is no defence for missing a drugs test under World Anti-Doping Agency rules – and neither is a tester obliged to call him to find out where he is.
The 24-year-old
American, who is said to earn close to a seven-figure salary from his sponsors Nike and faces the prospect of a two-year ban that could see him miss next year’s Olympics, launched a lengthy defence of his actions on
Social Media hours before he was provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit for three “whereabouts” failures in 2019.
