American World 100m champion Christian Coleman has revealed he missed a drugs test in December 2019.
“A few days ago, the AIU came to a decision that I’ve been appealing for 6 months that I missed a test on December 9th, 2019. And now this might result in me being suspended from other filing failures that occurred well over a year ago at this point.”
Coleman, who beat Justin Gatlin for the world 100m title in Doha 2019, is facing a two-year ban if found guilty.
The 24-year-old sprinter scaped suspension on a technicality ahead of last year’s Doha 2019 World Championships because of a similar case.
Coleman said December’s missed test could have been avoided if the person visiting had called him as he was close by at a store.
He had missed tests on January 16th, 2019 and April 26th, 2019.
Coleman said he took responsibility for January’s missed test, but said, “I think the attempt on December 16th 2019 was a purposeful attempt to get me to miss a test.”

This guy almost missed the world championship because of the same issues, you think he would learn from his mistakes? If he’s not doping, he’s not the sharpest knife in the draw !
Let see how this turn out Michele lee Ahye was recently ban for three miss test. We see how the USA will be treated it not only Christain Coleman from the USA who miss three test they also a female from the USA I think her surname is Stevens the USA is treated differently than most other countries they federation always find a way to get around it.
Let’s hear what Micheal Johnson comment on this would be now

I hope they don’t cover this one up, something fishy here. #BOLT would never!!!
A fellow black brother is getting played and all you can do is show fanatical allegiance. You should be ashamed! Gossip mongerer and assisting to take down a fellow black person.Black people are Black people’s worst enemies!!!
The man miss the test and you are here talking about taking taking down fellow black person .Foolishness you spewing about gossip he is the one that said he missed the test.He comes out with it to get sympathy from people like you.He broke vthe rules did it before and got away with it.Wrong
Yes this is American stuff
Why y’all think he missed it? Twice!!!
Colemed taking the sport for a joke and need to be ban
Again???but weren’t surprised though and once again USTA will come with some lame excuse for him so that he can be champion again
Missed again? Twice in on year? “I was close by at a store” – Gtfoh 🙄
Banned some kenyan for this whereabouts failure the other day so am waiting to see how they play this. This boy overrated though prolly doping
He got some nerves to say he thinks its a deliberate attempt to get him suspended.That boy is dirty and we all know it. Suspend him like you everybody else who misses test.
They are NOT supposed to call and give you notice. Isn’t it random visits? People can do unscrupulous things when given notice. That is why audits are never announced. You catch them before evidence can be destroyed.
He behaving like an entitled child..always wanting the system to bow to him…this dude reminds me too much of Carl Lewis…. both in looks and behavior. He’s working for that ban for sure.
AGAIN
Let’s see the outcome
you’re missing too much test nw
