Grand Slam Track said Kerley, who was arrested in a separate incident in January, will not compete in this weekend's event.

GST's doubling requirement proved to be an issue for Hall, who has not raced a 200m since 2016, so he has withdrawn from the series and will race in the Diamond League this summer instead.

There were some entertaining races in Kingston, with Grant Fisher winning an extremely tactical 5,000 and Hiltz (1:58.23) holding off Diribe Welteji in the 800. But the big stadium was largely empty on Friday night.

Michael Johnson's quest to reinvent track and field starts on Friday. Some BIG names like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabby Thomas, and Cole Hocker have signed up for the new series, but some of the biggest stars in the sprint world like Noah Lyles, Sha'Carri Richardson, Grant Holloway and even Jamaicans like Kishane Thompson and Shericka Jackson have given it a pass. Some even will be competing elsewhere this weekend. Will the format that focuses on doubling be a hit with the fans?

Azu won in 6.49, the slowest winning time since 2014, as Australia's Lachlan Kennedy (6.50) and South Africa's Akani Simbine (6.54) each won their country's first medal in this event.

The AIU says three athletes coached by Phiri tested positive for the same substance between 2023 and 2024 -- including sprint phenom Issam Asinga, who was banned four years in 2024.

Wilson said he was not 100% and credited his teammates for propping him up, while Hoppel is full of confidence and ready for a big PR in the final.

SML did it again with WR #6, running 50.37 to win the 400 hurdles as Femke Bol got bronze. Letsile Tebogo ripped a 19.46 for 200m gold as a COVID-stricken Noah Lyles was 3rd.

Hall's time ranks him #4 all-time and silver medalist Matthew Hudson-Smith's 43.44 is #5 as an American outkicked a Brit for gold in Paris for the second straight night.

After thinking he lost, Lyles ended a 20-year American drought in the event in the closest men's 100 final since 1980 and the deepest 100 ever as all 8 man broke 10.00. Fred Kerley took bronze, medalling for the second Olympics in a row.

Noah Lyles was upset in round 1 of the men's 100 as Americans Fred Kerley and Kenny Bednarek had the fastest times of the day with 9.97.

In Tokyo, we had two races for the ages. Will history repeat itself in 2024? McLaughlin-Levrone comes in off a world record at the US Olympic Trials, while Benjamin is 2-0 vs Warholm since losing at Worlds last year.

IS Bolt the next big US star or is he the Tyson Gay of 2024? The battle for the fastest man on Earth could come down to the world champion Lyles and the 23-year-old Jamaican Thompson, playing the role of Usain Bolt in 2008, appearing in his first global championship.

Richardson is seeking to become the first American to win the women's Olympic 100 since Gail Devers in 1996. Can St. Lucia's Julien Alfred or any of the Jamaicans stop her?

The Monaco Diamond League Meet on Friday is absolutely loaded. Jakob Ingebrigtsen headlines the men's 1500 vs Yared Nuguse, Neil Gourley, Narve Nordas, and Niels Laros, Jess Hull goes for the 2000m world record, we've got an absolutely loaded men's 800, plus the big 3 squaring off in the men's 400m hurdles.

Asinga, who ran 9.89 and 19.97 last year, says he tested positive for the banned substance GW1516 due to a contaminated batch of Gatorade Recovery Gummies that he got from Gatorade at an awards ceremony. The gummies were falsely marked with the NSF Certified for Sport label which would mean they were contaminant free but have since tested positive for G1516. The AIU didn't buy it, banning him for four years & suggesting Asinga or someone close to him doctored evidence to cover up his doping. *MB: The Issam Asinga Case: Did The Fastest High Schooler Ever Test Positive After Eating Gatorade Gummies Or Is It An Evil Coverup?

Sha'Carri Richardson appeared to breeze into the 200m final, but she was actually inches away from a DQ.

Freddie Crittenden (12.93) and Daniel Roberts (12.96) rounded out Team USA in a historically fast race as Cordell Tinch's 13.03 was not enough to make the team.
