Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill claimed he ‘would beat’ Team USA star Noah Lyles in a race and cast doubt on Lyles testing positive for COVID at the 2024 Paris Olympics
Team USA gold medalist Noah Lyles has been issued a challenge by the man widely regarded to be the fastest player in the NFL.
“But I would beat Noah Lyles,” Hill continued. “And guess what? When I beat him, I’m going to put on a COVID mask and let him know I mean business.”Hill was referencing Lyles’ performance in the men’s 200m on Thursday, August 8, a race in which Lyles won the bronze medal two days after being diagnosed with COVID.
When Hill was asked about a controversial comment made by Lyles last year in which he rebuked the idea that league champions should be called “world champions,” the six-time All Pro suggested Lyles wasn’t even sick during his Olympic race in the first place. Hill continued, “For him to do that and say that we’re not world champions of our sport? Come on, brother. Just speak on what you know about. And that’s track.”
