Noah Lyles caught partying hard after supposedly getting COVID.

Now that’s creative

And if he wins he can be the hero like the MJ flu game. I wouldn't rule it out. Whatever generates buzz.

He posted a negative COVID test on his Twitter a few days ago. Him partying was afterwards

Why does Erin introduce himself as “the goat “ Erin Brown? What is he the goat of?

Noah talked so much smack in the press conference after the 100m final. He's trying to be like Ali, but there's a fine line between disrespect and confidence. Also, look at the video of him jumping like a kangaroo before the race, all other athletes are diligently behind their starting blocks, while watching him do his theatrics. If you lost a race after doing all of this, there's just no coming back! Better to leave in a wheelchair, and live to fight another day...

Lyle is his own worst enemy. He is clearly soft and corny. Why try to appear tough and braggadocious? Just be soft, funny and nerdy. The anime, the Pokémon, the Spencer accessories he wears are who he is. The weak jabbing at the blocks is not him. Kerley tells him to “talk his $hit” at the 100m presser. Lyles says his competitors are going to be depressed. Real hard. He is being divisive for a misguided reason. It does not attract people to watch. Talent attracts viewers and he has plenty of talent. He should get a pet turtle like Yared and fly his nerd flag proudly.

Covid has become a convenient excuse.

Biden announces he will not run in 2024 via a message on social media and cannot speak in public about it due to Covid.

Noah. Lyles.

He was an ungracious loser after the 200 and wanted to remain the focus of attention and take the spotlight off Tebogo.

He just couldn't handle the fact that someone else was getting the attention.

Guys, he ran faster at the trials in a semi jogging across the line. He was in even better shape in Paris. He looked faster in the 100 and actually did win his weaker event. Enough with the conspiracy theories. It happened.

Maybe he overplayed it after the race. But it clearly affected him. He still went 19.70, so the fact people are puzzled by him jumping around is just bizarre, which as animated as it is, is much less explosive or difficult than running 19.7.

Interesting he posts a negative test but not the positive test. If you'd want people to sympathetic to your loss I'd imagine you'd want to post the positive COVID test result. Now even Tyreek Hill recently called him out on NFL network for faking his sickness.

Lyles partying hard in Paris and you at home posting about it. Maybe think about what you're doing with your life, bro.

So a couple of days later he he's no longer testing positive and so goes out to party?

What am I missing here?

I only had covid once. And then ran a good marathon about 10 days later.

He may be a drama queen, but to some degree he has earned the rights for it. Didn't he break the American 200m record last year? Didn't he win the 100m last week. I get it he behaves like a clown at times, but if you don't like it, beat him. BTW, he will get Tebogo next time.

Man, this shows how much of a Orwellian world we live in. Just saying the magic words "tested positive for COVID" gives someone whatever excuse they want to get out of work, running a race, performing presidential duties, etc. Pre-2020, someone had to actually be sick (i.e. experience debilitating symptoms) to get out of normal human activities. Why have things changed? Why does someone get a pass for not doing their job simply because they have allegedly tested positive for a disease despite being vaccinated and boosted and having no apparent symptoms?

And then, people turn around and say "nobody cares about COVID." Well yeah, nobody should care about COVID, but yet apparently it gets you out of whatever you don't want to do.

Lyles claims that he felt worse a couple days before the final. Yet he didn't collapse on the track after the heats like he did after the final. So I don't know if he had COVID, but regardless it seems very likely that he exaggerated how he bad he felt at the end of the race to make a point to everyone watching.

Noah Lyles decided to race with COVID-19. The USOPC's CEO is '100% comfortable' with that decision

The head of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee says she is “100% comfortable” with Noah Lyles' decision to run in the 200 meters after testing positive for COVID-19 two days before the event.

The head of the American Olympic committee confirms that they were informed of his condition days ahead of the 200m final and that he was under their close monitoring the entire time.

Many, many athletes came down with covid in Paris last week, as did many persons in contact with athletes. Lyles just happened to be the highest profile of the lot.
