Noah Lyles caught partying hard after supposedly getting COVID.

Nobody cares. You don't need to lock yourself in your room because you have the sniffles. Most of us have had covid 3 times by now.

I don't blame him. Covid shouldn't stop someone from partying after they've been crowned the fastest human. There has to be exceptions. You think everyone in the Olympic Village who had covid stayed in their rooms?

He crossed the finish line acting as though his hamstring was hurt. Then it was COVID, I guess.

Just a sad and immature way to handle defeat from a newly crowned Olympic champion.

Did you miss the video of him collapsed in a heap on the track, and then getting rowdy in a crowded nightclub a couple days later? Are you claiming it’s AI or something?

Here's what I think happened.

Lyles was low key worried about the 200 ever since the US trials where he seemed to not be as effortlessly running as he normally would like (he went a little overboard on the 100m training)

He had to strain 110% in the 100 in paris. 200 comes around he runs a preliminary and knows he's getting beat by bednarek and probably someone else. His face was very telling then.

He felt a slight cold(not shocking given the travel) and proclaimed himself covid positive without taking a test. Going into the 200 final if he had won the race he would have told no one(hence his big entrance). Since he lost he could pull the covid excuse.

What's a shame is no one would have cared if he lost and got bronze. He's the 100 champ! And he had to give up the 4x1 and probably helped cost the team a gold there as well to keep the lie going.

Sadly it's my memory of him of the games. Wish I didn't have the image of him sitting in a wheelchair with a mask on...

It is a new variant. Only lasts for as long as needed.

When exactly was he seen partying? Was it after the 200 or before? My theory is he went partying after winning the 100, got exposed to covid at the party, and then got sick before the 200.

Reports say he was seen partying on Sunday night. I don’t see the big deal. He started feeling sick Tuesday night. Why wouldn’t he be better by Sunday night? Covid in its current form usually only affects people for a few days.

It's a celebration Bitches!!!!!

dont know the whole story, whether it was covid, just a cold, or some other injury, but something physical was wrong.

i have never seen him fake injury/illness after losing before and he isnt giving up another medal, one almost certain to be gold, for nothing.

Noah Lyles is a drama queen. My bet is he used covid as a cop out when he lost. He sure didn't look sick before the start of the race. Then he lost the chance for the triple gold so he bailed on his team. Sick enough to miss the race, but not too sick to go out and party? It's good to know who you can count on when things are tough. I'd take Bednarek, Norwood and Benjamin any day over Lyles from here on out.

The relay was on Friday night. The party was reportedly on Sunday night.

He didn’t have a strain in the 100. Not even a mild one or he would’ve be able to sprint days after, like at all. Have you guys ever sprinted before ?

Even my coworkers who know nothing about track were calling him out on his covid bs

Yes, I've sprinted the 100 x15

He panicked when Tebogo started to make ground on him after the turn. After the race he was so shocked and had a little panic attack.

So the day after winning gold in his worse event he started wearing a mask to give himself an excuse in case he lost his better event? Please.
