why isnt there further sanction for lying to the panels?
why isnt there further sanction for calling the testers into direspute, which was also found completely unfounded?
This encourages such behaviour
2 yr ban for the three tests.
ridicule for his other tests and attitude - but not 'illegal.
lifetime ban for lying about the testers and lying about the supermarket.
he has shown no remorse, no guilt, to hell with them.
I'd also like to see some explanation from USADA as to why they gave him over 7 hours warning on his April test. That reeks of corruption and allowing an athlete plenty of time to do what they need to, to flush whatever out of their system
Chipotle, Walmart, & Monday Night Football. Sounds like a real serious athlete who would give 100% commitment to his sport and never cheat to win..

Wow...He got lucky two years ago and pushed his fortunes a bit too far?
May 2022. I guess he will be back for the World Champs?
He was not exactly the most engaging athlete on the tour.
A bit surly at the best of times.
How is opening the doors for clean athletes a blow to US sprinting?
Can someone please update the screenshot of fastest 100m times with the names of all dopers strike-through?
This one:
Coleman should be listed with 9.76 and struck through.
So will his Daddy come on here yacking about how his son is so responsible again.
Really sad.

So he actually LIED about the timeline as part of his defense. That makes it even more sus. That makes him look like he actually does cheat.
Haha. No SH|T!

of course he's cheating.
it's impossible to be that careless/stupid when your livelihood is at stake.
Finally! He should’ve been banned last year!
Hope this means that anti doping is now for real, and that it spreads this message
They should add an extra year for simply being stupid
By a preponderance of the evidence he was clearly avoiding the test.
"We are comfortably satisfied that this is what happened."
Comfortably satisfied is a legal standard I have *never* seen before.
Probably similar to "probable cause."
Signed, a lawyer.

This is a summation on points in a tribunal. Legal means 'to do with the law'.
If you are a lawyer, i am the king of jamaica
I never cared for his acting in Diff’rent Strokes anyway.
Weak.

We're breaking down this now but the world's fastest man will not be at the Olympics.
We'll never know if he could have been the world's fastest man. All we know is that he's the world's fastest man willing to cheat.
I've been critical of CC in the past but have a tiny bit of more sympathy than most of you. I really don't like the quotes where the anti-doping authorities admit they told the testers not to call. Personally, I dont think they should call but I 100% think they should be consistent.

Raphael Roux, the AIU’s Out-of-Competition Manager, said he ordered the DCO not to call Coleman for three reasons (quoted from the decision):
(i) the Athlete had in the relatively recent past missed four tests, and missed tests were always a warning sign in relation to an athlete
(ii) in the past there had been a combination of very good performances by the Athlete and missed tests
(iii) he had an impression that the Athlete might have been forewarned on previous tests
If you are five minutes from your house and they always call, I can see why you think you have nothing to worry about. It's kind of like Supreme Court precedent - it sort of becomes a law unofficially.
So if they always called before, I do think it should have been made clear to him after the September fiasco. "Hey, moving forward, we are NEVER going to call you or anyone else."
The point of the anti-doping game shouldn't be to play gotcha and catch the most important person in track and field - the men's 100 favorite. on three missed tests. The point should be to have a anti-doping system that actually works - so you either catch them doping or deter them from doing it.
What also bothers me about this is the time of year. Let's say he is a doper. Would he really be doping during this time of year? It was early December, I imagine he's barely training at all. Any doping experts on here, would you dope all year long? Or just in peak season?
Now the fact that he seemingly lied about his whereabouts does bother me. But I want more details. What is his house address? What is the Walmart address? What is the Chipotle address? What exactly did he buy at Walmart? I guess i lean strong towards he was lying as aren't there security cameras all over Walmart but I'd still to have all the details.

It looks like he was purposely avoiding going home until after the 8:15 window ended. What is he hiding?
What? Your logic makes no sense. He's sitting on 2 missed tests. If he misses a third, he's automatically suspended. Even if he is a PED user, I don't see why you'd miss this test on purpose. If you take the test, they test may not catch your drug use. If you miss it, you are banned.

Well, 1 or 2 -year ban vs 4 or 8-year ban
