Fred Kerley Suspended: Olympic Sprint Star’s Future in Jeopardy

American sprint champion Fred Kerley, a two-time Olympic medalist and 2022 world 100m champion, has been provisionally suspended for failing to meet anti-doping whereabouts requirements. The Athletics Integrity Unit says he missed or misreported his location for testing multiple times within a year, a violation that can result in a ban. Kerley denies negligence and plans to contest the ruling. The suspension caps a turbulent year marked by competition withdrawals, arrests, and legal troubles, and will keep him out of the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo.
