Christian Coleman facing a possible suspension for 3 missed tests

I love it! This dude is as dirty as a nightclub toilet. Bring on the ban hammer!!

How many different excuses can he come up with. I think you actually have to try to have this many missed tests.

He has a great lawyer so expect to see him at the Olympics.

I’m here, simmering.

I’ve laid it all out here, in thousands of posts. I don’t trust CC, I never have. No human has ever yet run a wind-legal 9.80-or-below cleanly. Or even below 9.84.

Or if you don’t like Bailey-Galea and others like Vicaut-Wohlfahrt or the slew of 9.87/9.88 dirty guys, then maybe 9.86 Lewis.

Most likely a bunch of 1-off low 9.9x guys with good wind have been the fastest ever, guys like Smith and CL.

Just look at the times all-around in the 1984 L.A. games...look what got into the semi’s and the final...and even that was after Wells.

I have never trusted CC. Never.

Carl Lewis being clean might be the dumbest track and field related thing posted on this website, and I didn't think it was possible to fail to clear that bar.

which part of 'no phone call was made per client instructions' dont you understand?

His twitter page is just a whine.

If I were Christian Coleman's dad, I would start playing the race card right now and call up the BLM and saying how he is being oppressed. /s

He (Christian Coleman did that). He said he was just a young black man living his life with the outside forces keeping him down.

Coleman obviously hasn't learned how to properly bribe the officials like a true veteran. They were like "This guy always stiffs us. Let's move on to the big tippers!"

This sounds silly. I feel like it will be resolved soon.

Is CL Carl Lewis or Christophe Lemaitre?

So now we can conclusively agree, CC is either a massive doper or a massive idiot.

It's a complete joke that he and people like Naser miss all these tests and still get to compete at major championships.

He's American, ergo he'll get off, easy. But it's worrying how, even with such shennanigans indicating possible widespread sophisticated doping cat and mouse in wealthier countries, almost no one ever tests positive. Testing in Western Europe and North America is a useless venture.

Well, we want to know more facts but we are tenatively siding with Coleman on this one. I'm sorry, you don't ban the Olympic favorite in the 100m without even attempting to call him.

Here is our article on the matter, but the authorities ADMIT they didn't even try to call him. Why?

Well some articles say he requested they don't call him.

Athletics cannot keep puttin up with dopers. It destroys the integrity of the sport and makes it extremely difficult to market.

If I were the President of the IAAF I would immediately put minimum 5 year bans in place for three missed tests in 12 months and lifetime ban for a positive doping test.

Athletics needs to clean up.

Agreed. Interesting here that AIU came to the rescue and finally got the job done that USADA screwed up.

Also, I can now update my list as discussed on the Naser thread two weeks ago:

Top-10

Bolt (doped trainer partner, Jamaican clen scandal)

Blake - doped

Gay - doped

Powell - doped

Gatlin - doped

Coleman (3 whereabout failures in 10 months) - finally provisionally banned

Carter - doped

Greene - doped

Mullings - doped

Thompson

Just a joke. Stop testing these guys. Stop reporting on it. Yeah lets cut the nuts right off a young rising star for track. Might as well get Lyles and Norman too.

Most people don't care. There's no such thing as clean. We want to see insane performances and have our minds blown. Like a crazy jacked Bolt somehow running faster than ever?! He may have saved t&f just for it to sh!t on itself time after time.

enough's enough

Seriously? You might want to look into the rules...

And really, being the Olympic favorite in the 100m *should* not give him any extra treatment!

Also from your front page:

"While we at LetsRun.com consider ourselves to be leaders of the anti-doping movement, “gotcha” drug testing is not something we can endorse and that’s exactly what Coleman is accusing the authorities of here in not calling him. He views this as a “purposeful attempt” by the authorities to have him miss a test."

Also, seriously? You are against gotcha drug testing?

That has been the way to go all the time, e.g. test the most suspicious athletes when they are most likely doped, and test the athletes with two missed tests as often as possible within the 12 month window.

Call him!?!?!?!? why should they call him.

Rules are clear and very very simple, be where you say youre going to be at the time you say it!!!

Strangely enough only just done a podacast about the whereabouts failures mainly discussing Nasser but did mention Coleman too in regards to being let off.

On second thoughts this does appear to be another AIU stitch-up. A whiff of the old cop planting evidence to get an elusive criminal behind bars. But why would they do this to CC? They either resent that he got off on a technicality before Doha or plain just don't like the guy.

Unlikely to work on an American with good legal representation, though.

Exactly what I'm thinking. They know he didn't know the rules when he got off on a technicality so should've been banned so now they're purposefully trying.
