Noah Lyles tested positive for COVID during the Paris Olympics, but nobody knew this fact until after he placed third in the men\u2019s 200-meter final.<\/p>\n

Immediately after the race, he collapsed to the ground and struggled to breathe as he asked for water.<\/p>\n

Noah Lyles\u2019s mother, Keisha Caine Bishop, who was in the stands, stated that the security at the Olympics refused to provide her with any assistance to help her when he collapsed at the Games.<\/p>\n

Keisha Caine Bishop wrote in an Instagram post that she pleaded with security to get a doctor over to treat her son, but her cries went unanswered.<\/p>\n

She wrote, \u201cThis was one of the scariest moments of my life! Watching my son hold his chest, gasping for air while the stadium security refused to call a Dr. as I begged them to send him help. They also refused to do anything to help. They totally ignored me! No parent should ever have to experience this feeling of helplessness!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite her initial anger and helplessness, she expressed gratitude to the NBC team present at the Olympics, which helped her and Noah Lyles. She wrote, \u201cHowever, I want to thank the @nbcolympics team for helping me during this moment. Thank you for seeing me & my son as human beings and not just another story. Words cannot express my gratitude for your empathy, professionalism, and kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso thank you @usatf staff who let me cry on their shoulders. To the security team, I pray if your loved one ever needs help, they get treated better than you treated us. I also thank God he is getting better.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Noah Lyles tested positive for COVID-19 two days before the 200-meter final but still decided to run and somehow persevered to win a bronze medal.<\/p>\n

He was hoping to make history as a double champ after he already won a gold medal in the 100 earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

Lyles told the\u00a0Associated Press<\/a>\u00a0that his temperature reached no higher than 99 degrees and stated he feared the symptoms more than anything else.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen asthma joining in on that and making it even [worse], that was our worst fear,\u201d he said. \u201cWe were back in the medical bay underneath the track. Their biggest concern was me getting bronchitis because we didn\u2019t want something to get infected and the asthma really starts to take form. We really had to jump on top of that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIf that was the case, I probably would have had to get a trip to the hospital, for sure.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By Saturday, Lyles tested negative for COVID, and now he can turn his attention to the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo next month.<\/p>\n

Noah Lyles\u2019 Pre-Race Trash Talk Resurfaced After 200-Meter Loss<\/h2>\n

Noah Lyles was the unquestioned favorite heading into the 200-meter final since he just claimed gold in the 100 meters.<\/p>\n

Lyles crossed the finish line third in his favorite event.<\/p>\n

Botswana\u2019s Letsile Tebogo went first, and United States teammate Kenny Bednarek claimed second.<\/p>\n

Before taking the track for the 200m final, Lyles sent a clear warning to his competitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be winning\u2026 that man [Kenny Bednarek] ain\u2019t winning. None of them is winning,\u201d Lyles said. \u201cWhen I come off the turn, they will be depressed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
