World 100 metres champion Christian Coleman has appealed against his ban for breaching anti-doping whereabouts rules, the Court of Arbitration for Sport said on Thursday.

CAS said it had registered Coleman's appeal after he was banned for two years by the Athletics Integrity Unit's Disciplinary Tribunal last month and is set to miss next year's Tokyo Olympics.

Under the so-called whereabouts rule, elite athletes must make themselves available for random out-of-competition testing and state a location and one-hour window where they can be found on any given day. The American sprinter said at the time of his provisional suspension that anti-doping officials had not followed procedure when he missed them after going Christmas shopping last year at a time when he had said he would be at home.
