Lyles was taken away by medical personnel, and NBC later revealed Lyles had tested positive for COVID-19 two days earlier, finding out from his "distraught" mother.
USA Track and Field confirmed the positive case to the BBC. Lyles' coach, Lance Brauman, said the 27-year-old track and field star clinched the bronze despite racing with the 102-degree fever.
