He's a member of the House of Lords and that's the usual form of address. It's the same kind of thing as americans referring to a senator as "Senator".
I get it. But the word "Lord" is hardly comparable to the word "Senator" in terms of hierarchical importance.

In the year 2000, Coe was made a so-called "Life Peer" -- he was made a Baron, which is the lowest rank of the English peerage -- and so is entitled to be addressed as "Lord."

Depends where you get your hierarchy from. "Lord" has been in common usage as denoting a person of high office or social rank for at least hundreds of years.

He is related to Lord Vader. Like Vader, Darth Coe has turned to evil and serves the Emperor; unlike Vader he does not wear a breathing mask and is not adept at wielding the force.
It's not Lord Coe. It is Lorde Coe. He is coming out with a collaborative pop album this Fall.
Get out and see the world when you get a chance, kid. There's more to it than just Applebee's and endless video games. Also, read more. Your English is horrible.
Because he's a lord?

But his soldiers wear masks and uniforms carrying the insignia of the dark side.

He is Lord of the Rings - the Olympic ones that is, both as an Athlete (4 OG medals, 2 gold ones) and organizer for 2012 London. He deserves to Lord it over all of you twits.
You get first prize!
