Amidst the, 2020 Tokyo Olympic 200 m bronze medalist  Noah Lyle‘s unexpected participation controversy, another video clip from the World Indoor Championships rally race has flued up the USA Track & Field authorities’ neglectful behavior.

After the U.S.A. track and field athlete Fred Kerley’s disappointment post over the unfair decision by USATF for the ongoing track and field championship, as they allowed Noah Lyles to take part in the 4x400m relay in the event, which created a concerning situation, now a “Manhandling clip” from the WIC, leaving the fans disconcerted on social media.

Fans question the official’s behavior

One of the fans commented “So many things wrong. We do not need officials for this. It’s hindering the athletes. Why should the Belgium athlete have to cross over that far to handoff?
