"Do I think Fred Kerley is going to break the WR in his next race? No. Do I think any athlete is going to break the WR in 2024? No. Do I think any athlete is going to break the WR in the next three to five years? No,” the post from Citius Mag read.
Replying to their comment, the 2022 World champion, Kerley, did not much to say and simply commented: “Noted.”
However, two-time world 200m champion Lyles was irked by the comment from Citius Mag and slammed them for making such suggestions towards his fellow American.
“I actually don’t like this headline. I watched the video this was taken from and @EmeroleAnderson talked about something very important. He talked about how even if we the fans don’t believe an athlete can run a time doesn’t mean we should demean them for making goals,” Lyles replied to Citius Mag.
