The 24-year-old is now barred from competition pending a hearing under World Athletics anti-doping rules, the AIU website said. The news came 12 days after another 2019 world champion Bahrain's Salwa Eid Naser, winner of the women's 400m was provisionally suspended for the same reason. That missed test means that his offences in January and April of last year come into play. Coleman's impassioned statement was accompanied by what appeared to be a copy of his formal notification from the AIU of a missed test. "But of course, that doesn't matter, and the fact that I have never taken drugs doesn't matter either."
