SAINT-DENIS, France — At 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Noah Lyles woke up with a wicked sore throat, an aching body and chills.
“Those are the symptoms I’ve always had right before getting COVID,” Lyles said, “so I was like I need to test this one.”
The test came back positive, throwing Lyles’ historic pursuit of an Olympic sprint double into chaos two days before Thursday night’s men’s 200 final.
