Noah Lyles Faces Backlash for Partying in Paris After COVID-19 Diagnosis
American sprinter Noah Lyles is facing criticism after being seen partying in Paris just days after testing positive for COVID-19.
The 2024 Paris Olympic Games recently concluded, but the attention has shifted to Noah Lyles who was spotted at a nightclub in Paris shortly after his COVID-19 diagnosis.
Lyles, who won the men’s 100 meter race, was captured on video dancing with an American flag at a nightclub, raising concerns and frustration among fans and followers.
Despite testing positive for COVID-19, Lyles competed in the 100 meter race and later won a bronze medal in the 200 meter event, showcasing his determination and resilience.
Lyles, who suffers from asthma, shared his experience of dealing with COVID-19 symptoms and the challenges he faced during the Olympic Games in an interview with the Associated Press.
Despite his illness, Lyles chose to compete in the 100 meter race with the approval of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, sparking a debate about the risks and consequences of such actions.
Lyles’ decision to compete while sick and his subsequent withdrawal from the 4×100 relay final had repercussions on Team USA, leading to a disqualification and extending their medal drought in the Olympics.
