I hope Lyles makes a parody video of hiding from testers.
His agent should try and hook him up with an endorsement for that Amazon doorbell. That would be an epic troll.

I’m surprised how much traction this thread has received. Does anyone put the words professional sprinters and doping together and then say ‘can’t be’. How can you compete on an Olympic level against highly sophisticated doping regimes and not dope yourself. If doping gives an already talented athlete a 10% advantage (just for argument sake), what kind of superhero would you have to be to be clean and be a world champion.
If your a professional athlete at this level you shouldn't miss one .
They wouldn't accidentally miss a race ... you know when you should be somewhere and there should be a pretty good reason for not being.
If they banned people for missing one - let's say a year + fines like in soccer and other sports - they would soon show up. If they don't they know the score.
I remember when Rio Ferdinand (manchester united player) missed a drugs test - he got an 8month ban and £50k fine

Idiotic at best, but he'll be able to point to no failed tests to suggest he's not a cheat, just an idiot.
No way an elite should be missing 3. 1 is forgiveable, 2 starts to make you look shady, 3 is either deliberate or just demonstrates idiocy. Whether idiocy is something you should be criticised for is another matter.
ill let mo know 1 miss test is acceptable to letsruners
Can anyone tell, what has he posted on his story (I don't have an account)

No, I do as well. Letsrun needs to cut the legitimate media claims and come out as a click-baity gossip site.
Yet again, I thought my opinion of the BroJohns couldn't get any lower.
Lets see if Nike drops him like a pregnant woman.
From now on, when an athlete runs sub-9.80, or wins a world title, the interviewer should lead with:
"(ATHLETE X), YOU HAVE JUST TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE 100 METER DASH! HOW DOES IT FEEL?"

A video of his spikes at the track, a video of a massaging table, and then him sharing a fan photo of him with the fan.

He should have made it his number one mission to go find them not the other way around after missing even one test.

OK, that was funny.

Exactly that — Idiotic at best!
I have it on good authority it is not Coleman. It's someone else. Also dangerous to have this conversation online about people.

Dopers do it in cycles not all the time. Hence he was tested clean in those periods and ducked the tests when he knew he was glowing

Coleman is only #1
More to come.
If that occurs, there is a process by which an athlete can appeal that missed test.
If you put in the wrong address that is on you; if the DCO goes to the wrong location, that would not count as a missed test from my understanding.
Didn't you guys learn anything from the Frank Meza thread? It is BULLYING to call a cheater a cheater.
To this whole thing, I have but one comment so far:
Hmmmm...
Well, one of Brianna's violations was at an airport. Rollins had already passed through airport security. The testers were not flying that day, so they were on the other side of security. In order to comply with the testers, Rollins would have had to exit security, give the sample, then go through security again, possibly risking a missed flight, a missed meet, etc.
I also heard of Lopes-Schliep (Canadian hurdler who looked jacked but had a hereditary condition where her whole family looked jacked) was approached by testers just before she was competing in a championship final! She asked if it could wait until after the race and the testers said no, so she gave them the sample:
So some of this testing stuff is crazy!
