Two people familiar with the case tell The Associated Press that Olympic gold-medal sprint contender Christian Coleman‘s Olympic prospects could be in jeopardy after three missed drug tests.
The case is said to involve three “whereabouts failures” over 12 months, meaning it can be treated as a positive test and subject to a two-year suspension.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because cases are considered confidential.
Coleman is the U.S. 100m champion. In 2017, he finished second to Justin Gatlin at the world championships, one spot ahead of Usain Bolt.
