Lyles came blazing. jumping, and screaming out of the hallway for his intro... only to get bronze behind Tebogo and Kung Fu Lenny. He's laying down now with a tons of medical guys around him
Maybe all the jumping and screaming made him sick.
That was definitely part of the act but you could tell the past two days that his swagger and act were completely gone despite having won the 100. ....Like he already knew he wouldn't have it in the 200. Then the whole medical tent thing following the semis was telling. And his face just looked blank the past two days. His jumping up and down during the 200 introductions was the only exception to his subdued behavior. It might serve as a convenient excuse for him but he is most likely legitimately sick.
I don't wish anything but the best for everyone, but why jump up and down like a lunatic before the start of the race and risk possible injury if in addition to that he had covid-19.

It was an attempt at mind over matter. If he didn’t do that, maybe he wouldn’t have won a medal in his condition.
