Noah Lyles’ furious mom claims Olympics security REFUSED to help son when he collapsed after 200m race while suffering with Covid: ‘One of the scariest moments of my life’.
Noah Lyles’ mom has opened up on her terrifying ordeal after claiming Olympics security refused to help her son when he collapsed following the men’s 200m final.
Lyles, who captured gold in the 100m final last weekend, missed out on a historic double after finishing third in the 200m race earlier this week.
It later emerged that the 27-year-old was suffering with Covid-19 at the time of the event, with his coach alleging that he had a 102-degree fever while competing on the day.
After coming in behind Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo and fellow American Kenny Bednarek, Lyles collapsed to the ground in scary scenes before eventually being wheeled away by medics at the Stade de France.

Yet according to his mom Keisha Caine Bishop, security inside the stadium initially refused to call a doctor for her son when he dropped to the floor, despite begging them to send help.
In a post on Instagram, Keisha wrote alongside a photo of Noah on the ground after the race: ‘This 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!
‘However, 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.
‘Also 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.’

Lyles is now Covid free after withdrawing from this week’s 4x100m relay to recover from it
Lyles announced on Saturday that he is now free of Covid-19 after recovering from the virus.
The 100m champion was forced to withdraw from this week’s 4x100m relay while battling Covid, with his collapse at the end of the 200m convincing him to end his Olympics earlier than planned.
Coach Lance Brauman told The Associated Press that Lyles had a temperature of 102 degrees Fahrenheit (39 Celsius) when he picked up the bronze. It’s what made that medal, in his last sprint at the Paris Games, all the more impressive to Brauman.
‘Those guys raced great,’ Brauman said about Tebogo and Bednarek. ‘But to get a bronze medal in 19.70 with a temperature of about 102, that wasn’t too bad.’
Keisha was overcome with emotion after her son’s 100m win in Paris last weekend
There will be other chances, Brauman said, because he is just entering his prime.
‘He’s going to be really good through LA at least, and then we’ll see what happens after that,’ the USA coach said of the next Olympics in 2028.
‘I just need him to keep doing what he’s doing.’
