American sprinter Kenny Bednarek has branded compatriot Noah Lyles as “unsportsmanlike” after the latter beat him to gold in the 200m event at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
The duo were racing in the 200m event at the annual championships in Oregon – with Lyles pipping his Team USA teammate to gold with a time of 19.63s – and were involved in a scuffle as they crossed the finish line, with Bednarek pushing Lyles and the pair exchanging words.
