Olympion Noah Lyles And Management Team Put Thousands At Ricks For COVID

Team USA runner Noah Lyles—who won bronze in the men’s 200m and was rushed off the field after the race in a wheelchair and later admitted to NBC Nightly News that he had tested positive for COVID two days before. He was not wearing a mask and I seriously doubt he was in the two days prior since the information was not released by him or his management team. 

His management team released a statement saying that he was diagnosed two days earlier and they backed his decision to race. Unacceptable. The situation needs to be investigated, his management team fired and his bronze medal taken away. The Olympic Committee needs to hold a press conference and speak out against the decision to keep the information under wraps. 

This is beyond reckless behavior and the Olympics could be a superspreader. He is selfish, ego-driven and does not take anyone’s health into consideration. I would take all his medals away for this behavior. He is not worthy of being called an Olympian and is a disgrace to his teammates and this country.

What else needs to be done

Banned from the 2028 Olympics

All of his medals taken away

All journalists, Olympians, and others exposed by him who get COVID need to sue him, the management team, and the Olympic Committee.

As of yesterday, Noah had planned to isolate and finish the competition however I read today that he has dropped out of the remaining races. 

The Olympics and the public can not accept this behavior, it was a total disregard for others’ health and frankly, this should end his career. 

The Olympics is a team sport and he was not a team player in the least.
