Overview

• The Athletics Integrity Unit announced the provisional suspension on its X account under rules requiring athletes to file precise location data for out-of-competition testing.
• Reports tie the case to three failures to submit whereabouts information or missed tests over a 12-month span, a breach under AIU regulations.
• Kerley’s attorney posted on X that he will contest the allegations, arguing that he was not negligent or that doping officers did not take reasonable steps to locate him.
• The suspension follows his late-July withdrawal from U.S. trials and bars him from competing further this season, including at the Tokyo world championships.
• Beyond the legal statement on X, Kerley’s team has declined further comment, leaving his training and competition plans unclear.
