American track athlete Fred Kerley recently announced his participation in the Canarias Athletics Invitational 2025 in Spain. It is part of the World Athletics Continental Tour- silver group and is scheduled to be held on May 31.
This comes amidst the controversy revolving around him owing to the battery charges pushed on him by his ex-girlfriend, Alaysha Johnson. This also led to Kerey's suspension from the Philadelphia leg of the Grand Slam Track meet, where he was scheduled to run as a racer.
Due to this suspension, Kerley will now compete at the Canarias Invitational, scheduled just a day before the GST Philadelphia event (June 1-2). The two-time Olympic medalist shared a story on Instagram where he hinted that he will be running a 200m race in the event on Saturday. He wrote:
