WORLD’S FASTEST MAN ‘MISSES THREE DRUG TESTS’

AMERICAN 100 metres

superstar Christian Coleman

is facing a ban which would

rule him out of the Olympics

after allegedly missing three

drug tests.

It was claimed yesterday that

the 23-year-old, regarded by

athletics as the heir to Usain

Bolt, had recorded three

‘whereabouts’ failures in the

past 12 months. Anti-doping

rules state that top athletes

must provide authorities with

details of where they will be

for an hour every day.

Sportsmail has learned that

Coleman is disputing one of

the failures, but if he is

unsuccessful in having one of

the three strikes removed, he

faces a lengthy ban that

would rule him out of the

2020 Olympics in Tokyo. It

would be a devastating blow

to a sport that has made him

a poster boy since Jamaican

legend Bolt retired in 2017.

According to the United

States Anti-Doping Agency

website: ‘Any cumulation of

three missed tests or filing

failures in a 12-month period

can result in a potential anti-

doping rule violation and a

period of ineligibility of up to

two years for a first violation.’

reports from Headingley

THE ASHES

JOfRA ARChER was relish-

ing the ‘happiest’ time of his

career after skittling Australia

for 179 in the third Ashes Test

— but insisted he can bowl

even better.

England’s World Cup winner took

six for 45, their best figures against

the Australians at headingley since

Bob Willis’s eight for 43 in the miracle

of 1981, to continue his dream start

to international cricket.

‘It’s been really good so far, from the

moment I’ve put the badge on,’ he

said. ‘It’s been the happiest days of

cricket so far, and hopefully there are

plenty more ahead. I’ll more than

take six for 45, but I can be tidier in

the future.’
