Noah Lyles has Covid after being wheeled off by medics after 200m

ran the men's 200m final with Covid and needed to be wheeled out of the Stade de France after finishing third in the race.

NBC said they spoke to Lyles' mom, who confirmed he had the virus before the athlete himself spoke out on the news. He said he had no regrets over competing, despite the inevitable risk of spreading the virus to other athletes, who he hugged and shook hands with after the race.

He told NBC, masked up: 'I woke up early about 5am Tuesday morning, feeling really horrible. I knew it was more than being sore from the 100. My first thought was not to panic, I've ben in worse situations, I've been in worse conditions.
