What were the circumstances around the missed test in April 2019?
When officials turned up to test Coleman at his home in Lexington, Kentucky, he was at a relay event in Des Moines, Iowa, almost 700 miles away. He then tried retrospectively changing his location on Wada’s athlete management system four hours after the testers arrived but the tribunal did not accept this.

What a poorly written explanation in the Guardian’s article. I can’t make heads or tails of it.
I am reminded of a scene in the Quebec movie “La Petite Reine” (great sports movie by the way). It is based on a true story of a successful competitive cyclist who was caught taking performance-enhancing drugs. There is a very good scene near the beginning when she finds out that the testers are coming shortly and desperately does something (I don’t remember exactly what) that will mask the drugs while her trainer does his best to stall the testers until her countermeasures take effect.
