It just became likely that the world's fastest man won't be at the Tokyo Olympics.

The likelihood that the world's fastest man, Christian Coleman, might miss the Olympics next summer has increased after he received a provisional suspension for failing to be home when drug testers showed up last year.with the anti-doping system stemmed from a miscommunication that could have easily been resolved with a phone call from the doping-control officer who came to his house on December 9.His path to the starting line at the Tokyo Games may now be through a hearing room.

The Athletics Integrity Unit, which handles anti-doping cases for World Athletics, said phone calls are not part of its testing protocol because they can make it easier for athletes to manipulate the testing process. Coleman's status going forward remains murky. According to the AIU website, his provisional suspension is listed as May 14, 2020 - 13 months before the start of US Olympic Trials.
