Sanctioning unit says it can find no mitigating factors to reduce the sanction

Bengaluru — World 100m champion Christian Coleman will miss the 2021 Tokyo Olympics after being banned for two years for breaching whereabouts rules, the Athletics Integrity Unit said on Tuesday.

Coleman’s representative Emanuel Hudson said in a statement the sprinter would appeal against the ruling at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Doping control officers testified before a disciplinary tribunal that they were present during the whole of the allotted hour of 7.15pm to 8.15pm on December 9 in front of his house.

At the time of his provisional suspension, Coleman had complained that the AIU’s doping control officers had not called him on that night on December 9. The AIU said in its judgment that doping control officers were not required to phone athletes.
