Word going the circles is that about three Americans are involved....
In reply to mikesiva
Only 3??
In reply to Jamstar
Wouldn't surprised me at all...only if it comes from US body and not an independent source.

Thank you sah but is hearsay allowed in this MB?

First: off how is the post illegal when I have no allegations of wrong doing against anyone????
Secondly: my sources are the same freaking folks who are going to write the article you want linked here
Finally: the very first time this information was made public was when a former athlete tipped folks off.that athlete is not Jamaican so I can't understand how this has become a Jamaican thing.
I can say whole lot more but apparently it would be illegal.

Pay no attention to Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
The story soon come out.

I don't have the names yet. Jamstar might.
In reply to mikesiva
It's not the Ajee Wilson (800 M runner) and Will Claye (long jumper) cleared of contaminated beef incidente you are all referring to?
In reply to amedatman
No, positive test for Adderall which is ADHD medication but there was no TUE filed.
The other is missed test.
The third is not confirmed.
The athletes have been notified.
This is all from a source within the very top top top of that countries track.
I have written the story thrice and pulled back because it's so potentially damaging I would rather be accurate than first.
In reply to mikesiva
The names of 2 have been confirmed and if you review who has pulled from recent meets it's obvious.
In reply to Jamstar
I hope Coleman is not one of them. He pulled out the other day but i think he was injured.
In reply to nitro
Well the timing of this after Colemans withdrawal is odd. I think the reason given for his withdrawal was rather vague.
I am trying to search if there were any other high profile withdrawals
In reply to rudebway
Someone shut their season down after making the team, start there.
In reply to Jamstar
I have heard all three are male.
I can guess one of them. As you suggest, I will start with the US trials. Looking at the 100m, the 200m, the 400m, the 110m hurdles and the 400m hurdles, I have questions over half a dozen of them!
US Trials
They're now talking about it on Let's Run
You can write your story now Jamstar
Christian Coleman, the world's fastest man for the last three years, is fighting for his reputation over an alleged series of missed drugs tests.
Top level sources have told Sportsmail that the 23-year-old American sprinter, who was given a seven-figure sponsorship deal by Nike in 2017 after emerging as the successor to Usain Bolt, is disputing one of three whereabouts failures in the last 12 months.
But if Coleman is unsuccessful in having one of the three strikes cancelled he could face a lengthy ban that not only rules him out of next month's World Championships in Qatar but next year's Olympic Games.
The story is about 3 though not one, one is as big as Coleman and the other not as big but all 3 are big big.

Christian Coleman, the world's fastest man for the last three years, is fighting for his reputation over an alleged series of missed drugs tests.
Ok, cool. So he did not test POSITIVE for a ban substance. He missed a few tests which has happened to other top athletes such as Serena Williams.
In reply to nitro and Jamstar
Missing three tests is as bad as failing a drug test. It implies that you've something to hide. To miss one test is unfortunate, to miss two is careless, but to miss three is damn cheating!
When Christine Ohuruogu missed three tests, she was slapped with a one-year ban. Brianna Rollins was banned for the entire 2017 for the same crime...three consecutive drug tests missed.
Serena never missed three tests in a row, the way Coleman has done. Any prize money gained during that period, and times clocked, are erased, just as if you'd failed a drug test.
Coleman is now hoping that his legal team can prove that USADA is incompetent, the way British cyclist Lizzie Armitage was able to prove UKADA was incompetent.
Jamstar, with regards to the other two names...there's this guy who beat Coleman once or twice last year, who seems to have gone MIA this year. I wonder if he's a suspect....
In reply to mikesiva
There are 2 guys that beat him, those 2 are the 2.
In reply to Jamstar
Wow!
On sprintzone, they're reporting two years ban for Ronnie Baker and a slap on the wrist for Noah Lyles for a TUE infraction.
EDIT: Not any more. They're now saying that Coleman's facing a potential two-year ban, pending appeal.
But I've now heard from two separate sources that Baker's the third man.
Is it true that Lyles suffers from asthma? It's curious how so many premier athletes need medication for asthma....
In reply to mikesiva
Seems to be a corelation between hyper activity disorder and fast sprinting...
In reply to mikesiva
Did not want to break any rules by calling names since the link people are so sensitive but Baker is the third man.
Lyles is for a ADHD medication called Adderall.
The article re these will be out before the Paris Diamond league.
In reply to Jamstar
Men's 100m and 200m wide open.
In reply to DukeStreet
if the rumors are true, and Lyles is the one with the medical exemption, then i think he will just be warned. No one is beating him at 200m. his competitors will know he is masking, but he is gonna win, hands down. The 100 would definitely open up, as would the 4 * 1 relay.
In reply to rudebway
The Asians are licking their chops, especially in the 4x1.
Also, if Miguel Francis can put it all together, he can give Lyles a run for the money.

Serena missed a pee test?
Serena Williams was not at home when a drug tester made a surprise visit to her Florida home on June 14, a spokesperson for the tennis player said on Thursday as the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) said it had tested her on three occasions this year
Link Text
Williams returned to competition this season after missing more than a year as a result of pregnancy. The 36-year-old American gave birth to a daughter last September.
Williams said she found it a little frustrating that she was deemed to have missed a test last month when a sample collector showed up at her house about 12 hours earlier than the time she had indicated shed be available.
Im totally OK with testing and I encourage it, Williams said.
She added: Its just about being equal and not centering one person out.
As part of USADAs intelligent out-of-competition testing program, it is not unusual for top athletes those who have had sustained success in their sport to be tested more often than others. It also is not unusual for athletes who have taken long breaks to be subject to additional testing because of natural physiological changes that might have occurred during the time off.
Tennis players can be tested by more than one agency, too.
Williams complaints about unequal testing were mentioned Sunday to Roger Federer, who estimated he has been tested seven times in the last month, including in-competition and out-of-competition.
In the village I live in, in Switzerland, the tester lives in the same village, so its very convenient. Its very convenient. If hes bored at home, he probably just says, Let me check in on Roger to see if hes having a good time. Anyway, its only going to take 10 minutes, whatever, Federer said. Ive been tested quite a bit, quite frequently out of competition.
But he also noted that hes only been asked to provide a sample once while hes been in Dubai, his base for the past 15 years. He called that lack of tests quite disappointing.
In reply to Jamstar
Yes, as a journalist, you have to be careful about libel issues. As a former journalist myself, I know all about that!
Members of the public using a message board have greater leeway. For some reason, nobody sues a MB for defamation!
Coleman's hearing will be on September 4. Coleman is all over the news now. But nothing about Baker and Lyles yet.
Interesting.
I think it is very premature to expect that Christian is not going to be at Doha because the more I investigate the situation, the more I believe that he will be in Doha.

There's no proof of innocence in that article, or in anything Ato said.
The only way he can overturn the decision is if he's successful in proving that USADA are incompetent. That's not impossible, because British cyclist Lizzie Armitage was successful in proving that UKADA was incompetent with one of her three tests. Coleman will be hoping for similar success. The question is this - is USADA as incompetent as UKADA?
JADCO got their act together by the time the Andre Russell case came up. When he sought to challenge the ruling, he was warned that if he failed he would definitely get a two-year ban. He took the advice of his legal counsel, and settled for a one-year ban.
Now, did USADA follow the correct procedure the way JADCO did with Russell? Or did they make a mess of the procedures, the way UKADA did with Armitage?
In reply to nitro
Big loud stewwwwwwwwwwwwwps - he will not be there
In reply to mikesiva
i wouldnt be shocked if he isn't banned. I assume his legal team and Nike will pull out all the stops. 3 missed tests get you banned, so i am sure they will work on invalidating one of the misses. the optics of missing 3 is horrible, but oh well
The hearing is September 4. We will see. He never failed a drug test.
In reply to nitro
That argument makes no sense. Three missed drug tests equals a failed drug test. Brianna Rollins and Christina Ohuruogu both served one year bans for three missed drug tests.
However, if Coleman can prove USADA are incompetent he may get off.
Funny how USADA are quiet about Lyles. The story will probably be leaked out after the World championships.
In reply to mikesiva
It would be bad if the current stars are not at the Worlds for simple infractions.
In reply to mikesiva
Like how they were quiet on Carla Lewis, who should not have been at the 88 OLYs in the first place?
In reply to nitro
Simple infractions until is a Yardie eh.

American based habits and procedures?
In reply to nitro
Three missed tests is not a simple infraction at all. Funny how you weren't crying for Andre Russell when he was given a one-year ban for the same offence.
Whether you are Christian Coleman or Andre Russell or Brianna Williams, if you commit a doping offence, you need to take your punishment. I don't excuse a "star" from drug offences, just because he or she is a "star".
We've heard about Coleman. We're still waiting news on....
This Jamaican athlete
Noah Lyles
Ronnie Baker
In reply to rudebway
Christian Coleman, the worlds fastest man each of the last three years, was cleared in a case of missed drug tests that could have kept him out of the Olympics.
Coleman contested an anti-doping rule violation of missing three drug tests in a span of 12 months. Normally, that violation carries at least a one-year ban, even though the athlete may never have tested positive for a banned substance.
However, Colemans violation was withdrawn because his first missed test on June 6, 2018, was backdated to April 1, 2018. USADA said in a press release that the violation was for a filing failure (not updating his whereabouts for drug testers to find him), and April 1 was the first day of the quarter he failed to update.
That backdating meant the third whereabouts failure, on April 26, 2019, came more than 12 months after the first one. Coleman has an otherwise clean drug-testing record.

Either USADA are incompetent or this is a whitewash. Which is it?
In reply to mikesiva
Smells like a cover up to me.
Hahahahaha
Christian Carl Lewis Coleman!
USA bad nuh rass. Still a super power indeed.
In reply to mikesiva
interesting..not surprised he was cleared. Maybe this is the new playbook for what to do.?
YES!!!!
Usain Bolt has a few days left as the fastest man over 100 and 200.
Sorry Legend, records are meant to be broken..well except the unbreakable Flo Jo. RIP.
In reply to mikesiva
I was almost certain they were going to enforce a ban on him. Now they are setting a precedence with this ruling.
In reply to DukeStreet
Smells ? ?
There is no more precious title in T&F to the USA than that of world's fastest man. They believe it is their god given right and as such
they will stop at nothing to get it back and keep it.The Bolt's years have been hurtful to them though not to extent of Win by Germany's
Amin Hary in 1960 Rome. It was as if their world ended.Fortunately they had Bob Hayes to reclaim. The cover up on Carl Lewis was one of the most
disgraceful acts ever, and the venom thrown at Ben Johnson was unmatched.
So I am least surprised at the Coleman decision. But since it's time they want,TIME will tell.
