US EditionUS sprinter Kerley provisionally suspended for whereabouts failures
Fred Kerley faces a provisional suspension after multiple whereabouts failures, a violation of anti-doping rules, which he intends to contest, Athletics Integrity Unit said.
- On August 12, 2025, the Athletics Integrity Unit provisionally suspended American sprinter Fred Kerley due to violations related to his anti-doping whereabouts requirements.
- This suspension follows a troubled 2025 season marked by Kerley's January domestic violence prosecution and his withdrawal from major U.S. track events.
- Kerley, 30, who won the 100m world title in 2022 and earned Olympic silver, most recently participated in a race at the Grand Sprint Series held in Norwalk, California, about one month prior.
- His attorney stated some missed tests should be dismissed since Kerley was not negligent and doping officials failed to make reasonable efforts to locate him.
- The provisional ban compounds Kerley's challenges this year and could impact his future eligibility while he maintains his intent to contest the allegations.
