- The AIU recorded three breaches between May 11 and December 6, 2024, and a fourth allegation on December 7 was not considered once a violation was established.
- The tribunal described the 2022 world 100m champion as “negligent and, to a certain extent, reckless,” noting his experience and long-standing place in the testing pool.
- Kerley criticized anti-doping bodies in social media posts and has argued one missed test stemmed from a USADA app issue and others from Doping Control Officer conduct.
- He has signed to compete in the drug-permissive Enhanced Games slated for May 24 in Las Vegas, as World Athletics warns participants face significant bans and the ruling may be appealed to CAS.
