World 100 meter champion CHRISTIAN COLEMAN will appeal his two-year ban from athletics for anti-doping violations, his manager have confirmed.

COLEMAN’S manager EMANUEL HUDSON in a tweet said the decision of the Disciplinary Tribunal established under World Athletics Rules is unfortunate and will be immediately appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

COLEMAN, who won the men’s 100 metres at last year’s World Championships in Doha, was provisionally suspended for three whereabouts failures in June.

World Athletics’ Disciplinary Tribunal upheld the charge and banned the 24-year-old American for two years, backdated to May 14, 2020.
