U.S. Olympic sprinter Fred Kerley has been provisionally suspended following allegations of 'whereabouts failures' under anti-doping regulations, according to the Athletics Integrity Unit.

Kerley's legal team has announced his intention to challenge the allegations, asserting that a compilation of missed tests should be dismissed because of a lack of negligence or procedural errors by the Doping Control Officer.

Kerley, celebrated for his Olympic successes and world championship achievements, is also dealing with past legal issues but remains determined to overcome this latest obstacle to restore his reputation.
