World 100m champion Christian Coleman was provisionally suspended for missing drug tests, a ban he saw coming after appealing his last missed test Dec. 9.
Coleman detailed his case Tuesday night, saying a drug tester did not make an adequate attempt to find him.
The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), which handles doping cases for track and field, listed Coleman as suspended for “whereabouts failures” — any combination of three missed drug tests and/or filing failures in a 12-month period. A filing failure could mean incorrectly filling out forms to tell drug testers where an athlete can be found, or not submitting quarterly forms at all.
