30-year-old Kerley has a World Championship gold on 100 meters in 2022, and two more World Championship titles in relay. At the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021, he took silver on 100 meters and followed it up with a bronze at the Olympic Games in Paris last year.
However, this year has been just as much about his problems with the judicial system. In January, he was arrested in southern Florida, suspected of violence against an official. The same month, he was also noted in another case, where he was suspected of domestic violence regarding an incident in May 2024.
In May this year, Kerley was arrested in Miami, according to media reports suspected of assault. Kerley himself claimed that it was a misunderstanding and that he was innocent, just like in the other noted cases.
