Noah Lyles sparks fury after being spotted on dance floor after he misses Olympic race due to Covid

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Noah Lyles was the life of the party at a lively Olympics celebration in Paris, showing off his dance moves at a local club on Sunday. This came just days after he was sidelined from the 4x100-meter relay final due to a positive Covid test.

Lyles, who had been gearing up for the men’s 200-meter final, faced an unexpected setback when he woke up with Covid symptoms on August 6. The positive test forced him into quarantine just before the crucial race. 

Despite this, the world champion sprinter's determination never wavered. Even while battling the virus, Lyles powered through the semifinals to secure his spot in the final, demonstrating his unwavering resolve to compete.

The gold medalist, who triumphed in the 100-meter final, was enjoying himself in the City of Lights. However, some fans on social media voiced their concerns, questioning how the 27-year-old went from needing a wheelchair on the track just a few days earlier to dancing energetically into the Parisian night.

Lyles wasn’t alone in his revelry; Olympic stars Simone Biles, Derrick White, and French swimmer Leon Marchand were also seen at the club. This lively appearance followed his recent competition while battling a 102-degree fever.
