World 100 metres champion Christian Coleman is facing a potential ban from the sport after admitting on Tuesday night that he has missed a third drugs test in the space of a year. In detailing the events, Coleman wrote: ‘I want to make you all aware of a situation I'm currently dealing with. A few days ago, the AIU came to a decision that I've been appealing for six months that I missed a test on December 9, 2019. Under whereabouts rules, an athlete is expected to list where they will be for an hour of every day. Coleman almost missed the world championships last year because of a whereabouts violation only for the US Anti-Doping Agency to drop its charges against him on the advice of the World Anti-Doping Agency.
