If this was Gatlin who missed a test, Wejo and Rojo would've lit a f*cking fire and put Gatlin on a stick. They have always had huge bias in how they present certain athletes in their articles. They have zero ability to separate analysis articles from opinion pieces.
Coleman is a drug cheat. Has any 100m world champion ever missed FOUR drug tests in a year? Why do none of the other massive sprint names in the sport not have trouble with testers not calling or reporting correctly? Andre de Grasse and Noah Lyles would absolutely be tested as much as Coleman yet seem to be doing just fine with never missing a test. Even the dirtiest ones like Lewis or Greene would still get tested. Coleman deserves to get called out for being a cheat or the biggest f*cking idiot in the sport.
I don't think that he missed 4 in a year, since at least one of his missed tests in his last 'three-missed-test-in-a-year' year , was in 2018, (it 's a sliding window, not a calendar year) and the missed the tests do not have to be in a row (you can get tested OOC, 10 times in a period of 12 months, if you miss 3, you're done).
Otherwise, your arguments are right, the fact that it happens always with him (provided they are getting targeted the same way), is a red flag , he'd be done .
The infraction is from 2019 so it's possible he missed tests in 2018 as part of this suspension.
Regardless, people need to remember how steroid/hormone cycling works. You aren't glowing 24/7. You follow the steroid cycle and then you will know when you will pass a test and when you will fail. You take the tests when you know you will be negative and dodge the ones where you might test positive.
