Fred Kerley is a #100meter #sprinting champion whom after months of speculation following his provisional suspension for whereabouts failures, has banned. The AIU has now confirmed a two-year ban, officially sidelining him from sprint competition. But what does this ruling actually mean? Howill it impact the future of sprinting and the current generation of elite American sprinters. Kerley has been one of the most talented and competitive athletes in the sport, capable of running world-class times from the 400m down to the 100m, so losing him from the track raises serious questions about what comes next and whether we will ever see him return to challenge the world’s fastest men again.

  1. Truthfully Fred’s time has came and went and now it’s about these up and coming high schoolers who are having no fear against the professionals, it’s making track interesting.

  2. its such a shame that the track and field audience is so small. the concept of track in my opinion is just so cool, and i dont understand why people cant see it in the same light that i do. you've got the fastest humans, YES, THE FASTEST HUMANS on the planet lining up to battle it out and see who is faster. i prefer it to other sports like tennis or american football

  3. 7:03 The way things are, the sport doesn't want to change. The World governing body doesn't want to do as much to support the athletes collectively, especially those at the bottom. The sport continues to push track to the front and everything else (field, multi events etc) to the back unless you're the elite 1% with certain amount of titles and/or WRs. A lot of the big names from Noah, Syd and even Fred have called it out many problems. The lack of proper infrastructure. The lack of push to generate more from the sport. The consistent restrictions to prevent athletes growing. The archaic way of paying athletes in format as well as the amount they get paid. On top of not having a league that supports all of track and field, not some. Whether its a boycott or a protest or a call by the top athletes etc, something needs to manufactured to address the issues in our sport otherwise more things will be stripped away when we least expected (events being eliminated, competitions removed, more money for only top athletes etc).
