World 100 Meter Champion Christian Coleman May Miss Olympics After Missing Doping Test

American sprinter Christian Coleman was suspended Wednesday by the Athletics Integrity Unit for missing doping tests.

The AIU updated its list of athletes on provisional suspension to include the 100-meter world champion hours after he revealed details of the case with a statement on Twitter.

Coleman has been temporarily banned from competition until a final decision at a hearing conducted under World Athletics Anti-Doping rules or the Integrity Code of Conduct.

Coleman had a previous whereabouts charge dropped last year ahead of the world championships and was a favorite for Olympic gold in the 100 meters ahead of the Tokyo Games.
