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.

2 years as opposed to 4 years plus it's much easier to contest a whereabouts failure than a positive drug test.

...and then you can still trot out the "I've never tested positive" line.

What could an athlete do in a 45-59 minute window to disrupt the test if the tester was to call?

If the answer is nothing then why don't they call.

If the answer is they can do something to disrupt then what stops the athlete from hearing the first knock at 7:01AM and doing 'cover-up' things then opening their door at 7:59AM claiming they were asleep.

If he was on PEDs, I wonder what it could be if he only needed ~7 hours to pass with a pre drug test warning.

I don't know the details whether he had appealed or not. Hopefully he does and gets this thrown out.

Track is running one of their stars through the mud AGAIN. Hey while you're at it bust Norman, Wade, Warholm, Felix, SAFP, Taylor, and all the distance runners the fan boys love.

This sport, I use the word sport loosely, is the absolute worst at killing their own juice. They kill their own stars ALLLL the time. It's the sole reason it sucks as bad as it does. No one knows these people. They knew Bolt. Why? Because they let him be the greatest ever. They didn't mess with him.

But the Olympics have skateboarding and other bs in it so it's already a joke.

Not even a Coleman fan. Just stupid.

Lyles thinks he just won it.

Honestly Norman needs to run the 100 now.

Norman definitely has to run the 100 now. He has just as good a chance to medal in it as he does the 2 and the 4. He'll it's probably his best chance of winning gold tho I think Oduru gets it.

Only question is he's always hurt. Could he get through to the three finals without getting hurt? Plus he's a flake. Just weak mentally. But he could easily, talent and time wise (I don't think he'll do it) but he could medal in all three sprint events. Has that ever been done?

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.

This is great lol

On and off all year.

The breakdown of the lie is comical and tragic at the same time. Like I can't believe, like really can't believe that Emmanuel Hudson didn't go over this with him and come up with something that wasn't so incredibly easy to completely blow-torch.

I mean his story is so stupid bless him, I actually laughed out loud reading it. "World's most committed Christmas shopper". I even imagined how this could possibly work - him driving like a maniac from Chipotle to his house, sprinting inside, smashing his bowl in 30 seconds as the Eagles kick off, than gaps it out of his place police spoof style, into his car and driving like a maniac again back to Walmart. Laugh my a$$ off.

Should have paid more attention at college Christian, my goodness.

Waiting for the frail ,white, American , distance runner who has never had a chance in hell at an Olympic gold medal to come out applauding this lol.

The list of the fastest Americans is even worse...

Preventable if you mean by not doping and therefore not needing to avoid testers and thus not winning gold medals.

He is the worlds fastest man. Maybe they just couldn't see him.

Sounds like Corona fuks someone else. If the Olympics are held in 2020 would he of been there?

Nice one. VroomVroom!

I mean the Olympics would have ended almost 2 months ago and Cap was still in charge at Nike until then - so I guess we can assume he would have been there. Covid postponing the Olympics was HUGE for Coleman in a bad way

"It is hard to have much sympathy for Christian Coleman outside of the sympathy you feel for someone deprived of their livelihood by something that was preventable." - I like how you said that.

I support the ban, but based on a number of factors, I don't believe he is a doper or is necessarily a horrible person. None of that matters, he absolutely broke the rules and should be banned..

What I'm wondering is why he even gave the Walmart receipt. I'd just give the Chipotle receipt. Whose idea was it to turn over evidence that killed his alibi?

Or did WADA get smart and say, "We want all of your bank accounts/credit card accounts." I don't give WADA that much credit as they don't have subpoena power.

I would like to see the Walmart video cameras.

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.

running a WR in the 60m and being the 100m world champion already pretty much proves that somebody is doping. are there any sprint champions who were clean without a doubt?

Bob Hayes would be my guess

I think it's pretty simple. We probably are giving him way too much benefit of the doubt here when it came to him thinking beyond the first level of his bullsh$t. Like he clearly never entertained in his mind that someone might actually do the most basic of piecing together his story and be easily be able to debunk it.

I mean when you have these basic time points that pertain to his story (via his receipts), the only thing you need to do is get a rough approximation of three things - 1) how long it takes him to drive from Chipotle to his house, 2) when did MNF on Dec 9 2019 actually kick off and 3) how long does it take from his house to drive back to Walmart. It's not exactly X-files level investigation here but my guess is that any averaged intelligent person figures this out before they tell a lie that could jeopardize their career. Christian Coleman clearly is not this smart and hence had no issue handing over receipts etc because he probably in his mind thought they actually helped and validated his story!

You could not script it any better.

Again what shocks me is that Hudson let this slip. This I don't understand at all. I can only ascertain that Emmanuel didn't even know Coleman was telling this fabrication let alone handing over stuff that basically proves his story is BS.

Awesome stuff.

So we have one more doper down. I wonder if that means we will have clean sprinting?
