The exciting line-up is incredible as any of them can win the race. Lyles is one favorite to win because he is back to his best. The incredible Coleman, however, returns amidst much fanfare. With the ban he received, he talked about being more responsible in the future. Coleman missed three testing as the committee couldn’t take more of his antics. Thus, they gave him a ban. But, Coleman looks to return to the competition, with a bang.
“I think it comes down to being more responsible. Those are the rules and I just have to do better,” said Coleman.
Whether he can win the race is something that time will tell. However, Christian Coleman is back. Can he win the race?
