Twitter search of "doping sprinter" suggests it may be up to three sprinters.
If it's "up to three," there's a chance there could be something systemic at play. Perhaps same coach, agent, or training group, or some other connection I suppose.

Abrahamson's "up to three" may be because he's hearing parts of rumors. I'm hearing it's for three missed tests.

Or it could be a new testing procedure has been introduced that blindsided people who thought they were safe. It won't be the first time this has happened. Though, if that were the case you would expect more positives from other nations to start appearing.

How MASSIVE can any positive drug reveal be?
New/better tests might nudge towards major but an individual getting caught on the spike ...
I guess Jarrion Lawson.
Oh wait, he already tested positive. And this website did a massive feature article just yesterday defending him ...
But seriously, it's Coleman.

Would you? Because Mo Farah and Usain Bolt are definitely protected drug cheats, to name two.

Their excuse will be that they shared a contaminated whopper at a Burger King in Tijuana, lol.

Why would Mo Farah be protected and Tyson Gay not?
Dennis Mitchell
... because Farah has 10 WC/Olympic Golds and Gay has 2 (non-relay) (outdoor only for both). Gay won 2 golds in 2007 and then was busted in 2013... so it isn't like he was a star at the time.
Not that I agree with such theories, but I'm not sure Mo and Tyson are comparable.

Kind of cryptic. Lyles, Coleman, Gatlin and her all have active Instagram stories.

So you are saying that Mo wasn't protected until what, 2015 when he had success? So his early gold were not due to being protected? The whole reasoning seems outrageous to me. What about Marion Jones' medal count?

The 3rd one mentioned will be fine, they apparently had a TUE. The other 2 are not so fine, 2 year bans for each. One already took it, the other is fighting.
...Allegedly

Our (American) medalists get popped for drugs, scrutinized and ridiculed by foreign media, fans and by our own compatriots.
Meanwhile I can’t even make out half of what Steve Cram says in his commentary because he takes every bit of Farah in every single broadcast. Radcliffe sure is a one in a billion talent, too.
You ever find it odd that every single other top-10 100m runner has tested positive except Bolt? Or how all of the sudden Britain’s top distance runner goes from a nobody to unbeatable at age 30 around the same time Coe rises to prominence in British Athletics then runs the IAAF as a whole.
America has always been competitive in sports. We could stand to be brought down a peg or two while a blind eye is turned toward the behavior of rising stars because the right amount of scandal mixed with the right amount of game rigging creates parity. Parity puts aszes in the seats raising all boats.

What kind of decisions? ? This sounds kind of suspicious...

Another fantastic comparison.
Who was the Vice-President (under a President indicted for corruption) of the IAAF before becoming Olympics czar for London 2012 before becoming Chair of British Athletics before becoming IAAF President?

When did Maurice Greene, Christian Coleman*, and Richard Thompson test positive?
*could be recently, apparently

Definitely sus. Which is unfortunate as I am a big fan.
Hoping it's not her.
