PARIS (AP) — The head of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee said she was “100% comfortable” with Noah Lyles’ decision to compete in the 200 meters after testing positive for COVID-19 two days before the event.
Lyles didn’t publicly reveal he’d tested positive for the virus until after he won bronze Thursday night at the Paris Olympics. It was the first loss in three years for the American favorite in that event, who was trying to become the first sprinter since Usain Bolt to sweep the 100 and 200 meters.
