United States sprinter Fred Kerley has been provisionally suspended for an alleged anti-doping whereabouts violation, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) announced on Tuesday.
Kerley, 30, who won 100m bronze at last summer’s Paris Games, could face a two-year ban if the charge is upheld.
The World Anti-Doping Code states an athlete cannot miss three anti-doping tests and/or filing failures within a 12-month period.
In a statement posted on X, lawyers for Kerley said he intends to contest the allegation.
Kerley, who won 100m gold at the 2022 World Championships, last competed at the Grand Sprint Series in Norwalk, California in July.
He withdrew from the US track and field trials last month, writing on social media that he was taking time out.
“The 100m should be a straight sprint. 2025 has presented many hurdles,” he said.
In January, Kerley was tasered and arrested by police following a confrontation with officers in Miami, Florida. Then in May, he was reported to have been arrested for allegedly punching his former girlfriend and fellow athlete Alaysha Johnson in the face.

She captioned her upload: “Joint project,” and included a red love heart emojis. And her elated followers were quick to send love in the comments section.
Katy Sloane penned: “Congratulations Roxy!!! What wonderful news!!! You are an absolute Goddess!!!” Actress Joanna Harlin also wrote: “Congratulations,” while adding four love heart emojis.
Hollyoaks star Anthony Quinny wrote: ‘Amazing news! Congratulations!,” while Max Beesley was among those hitting the like button on the announcement.
In the Cheshire-based soap, Roxanne’s character was brutally killed off in 2008. In horrifying scenes, she was strangled to death by her fiancé Warren Fox, played by Jamie Lomas. The death occurred on the couple’s wedding day after she had found out her man had murdered her estranged husband Sean Kennedy.
At the time of her exit, Roxanne told Digital Spy: “I have enjoyed my time at Hollyoaks immensely and I’m going to really miss everyone at Lime Pictures. I have learned so much and will take away with me many happy memories – not just from everyone I have worked with but from Liverpool as a city too, which has become my second home.
“I know I will shed a few tears on the day I leave but I am so excited about what the future holds.”
She went on to have further success on the small screen. Following her Hollyoaks exit, Roxanne landed roles on the likes of Lip Service, HBO’s fantasy epic Game of Thrones, and Syfy’s apocalyptic supernatural drama Dominion.
On the big screen, Roxanne’s CV boasts movies such as Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines, Vendetta, and The Legend of Hercules.
Her social media pages see Roxanne regularly share work updates while also giving fans an insight into her personal life. Last year she shared clips of herself enjoying a trip to Norway.
Sharing a number of videos on Instagram, Roxanne showed off her enjoyable trip, involving skiing sessions as well as riding snow mobiles. In the clip she jokingly captioned: “Loving Norway… who knows if I’ll make it out alive. #Weeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Romeo Beckham spotted on Jet2 flight
Romeo Beckham had Jet2 passengers doing a double take as he was spotted patiently waiting for a budget flight rather than his parent’s private jet. The son of David and Victoria Beckham kept a low profile as he opted for a cheap getaway.
He has millions in the bank thanks to his famous mum and dad, but donned a black hoodie and matching jogging bottoms as he queued up with fellow passengers. Romeo kept busy on his phone as he was snapped waiting by barriers at Birmingham Airport.
The former footballer was then snapped on the plane as he took a window seat for the journey. It comes after Romeo and his famous family were snubbed from brother Brooklyn’s vow renewals to Nicola Peltz, with his billionaire father-in-law officiating the service.

Romeo wore a black beanie hat and kept his headphones in as he flew to France. He was captured in zmj703’s TikTok video, with many fans stunned he chose to fly with the budget airline.
However, it seemed to be his expensive choice of luggage that gave the game away for him. One said: “Blending in with thousands and thousands of pounds worth of bags.”
Another added: “Just shows he’s normal like the rest of us…” It seems Romeo is keen to keep busy and focus on doing his own thing as his family’s feud rumbles on.
Earlier this month, Brooklyn and his wife of three years Nicola decided to renew their vows but only in front of her family. Not only were his parents David and Victoria in the dark, but so too were his three siblings Cruz, Harper and Romeo, as well as his grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles.
None of Brooklyn’s UK-based friends were invited to the Los Angeles-based service and it is thought the first everyone knew about the service was when they read about it in media reports.
A source told the Mirror: “It must have been very upsetting to find out this way.” This week, Nicola and Brooklyn revealed photos of their special day as they flooded their social media with the snaps.
“We just wanted a really beautiful experience — a really cute memory,” Brooklyn told People about the decision. “To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her.
“I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they’re going to spend the rest of their life with. It definitely shapes you as a person. Yeah, it was really, really cute. It was really fun.”
Nicola’s billionaire dad Nelson took on a starring role as officiant, three years on from their $3million bash at the Peltz family’s sea front estate in Florida. It’s understood that their estrangement from Brooklyn’s family was first sparked on their big day, with reports of disagreements with Victoria over the wedding gown and a song choice she was said to have ‘stolen’ from the couple.
Signs of a rift have steadily been showing between Brooklyn and the rest of the Beckhams, with cracks having already been spotted at the pair’s original wedding.
Since then, Brooklyn has opted to shun his family, going as far as to snub his own father’s 50th birthday plans and his knighthood. His brothers Romeo and Cruz are no longer appearing to follow Brooklyn on social media.

Armand Duplantis broke the men’s pole vault world record for a 13th time – and third this year – with a clearance of 6.29m at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The 25-year-old double Olympic and world champion cleared 6.28m at the Stockholm Diamond League meeting in June.
But he surpassed that figure with his second attempt in Budapest on Tuesday.
Duplantis first broke the world record, then held by Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie for six years, in February 2020 with a 6.17m clearance in Poland.
His trademark is to progress the record in one-centimetre increments.
Duplantis ran straight to the crowd to celebrate with his family and partner Desire Inglander.
On Saturday, he competes at the Silesia Diamond League in Poland, where he also broke the world record last year.
Duplantis will also bid to become the second man, after Sergey Bubka, to win three successive world outdoor pole vault titles when he competes in Tokyo next month.
