Noah Lyles said he had plans going forward to make statements, beyond his rapid sprint times. He did that in Monaco on Friday.
Lyles raised a black-gloved right fist before winning a 200m in his first international race of the season. He clocked 19.76 seconds, leading a one-two with younger brother Josephus. Full results are here.
“We are at the point where you can’t do nothing anymore,” Lyles said Wednesday. “There aren’t any rules set out. You kind of just pushing the boundary as far as you can go. Some people have said, even if there were rules, they’re willing to go farther than that.
