Kerley says he'll run clean at Enhanced Games
Key takeaways
- Sprinter Fred Kerley revealed that he is not taking performance enhancers as he embarks on the next phase of a career that officially kicks off Sunday at the Enhanced Games, where drugs are allowed.
- When Kerley signed onto the Enhanced Games roster, he became its most recognizable name and gave the new enterprise a headliner it had been missing.
- Some six months later came his two-year ban by the Athletics Integrity Unit for missing tests, a violation of the antidoping code that doesn't necessarily mean an athlete is taking drugs.
Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.
