Kerley slapped with two-year whereabouts suspension

American sprinter Fred Kerley received a two-year ban yesterday for missing drug tests – a suspension that shouldn’t impact the 30-year-old 2022 world 100 metres champion because he has signed to run in a league that does not prohibit performance enhancers. The Athletics Integrity Unit, which oversees doping cases for World Athletics, announced the suspension, quoting from a ruling that called the sprinter “negligent and, to a certain extent, reckless” in not adhering to anti-doping regulations”.
