Fred Kerley suspended from Grand Slam Track ahead of the domestic violence accusations

Earlier this year, Kerley had an altercation and confrontation with the police in Miami that resulted in charges of resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and battery. Kerley was also arrested based on assault against his ex, the Olympic sprinter Alaysha Johnson. Kerley was booked on May 1, and after his arrest, he issued a statement through an Instagram post.

"While there was a physical altercation, my arrest was not due to any criminal act. Rather, it resulted from my decision to remain silent until my legal counsel was present. I chose not to speak to law enforcement without my attorney present, and for that reason alone, I was booked. The experience got me off guard, but I remain fully committed to clearing my name and cooperating with appropriate parties to resolve it...."

Kerley got suspended from the Philadelphia meet of the Grand Slam Track after the arrest. The Olympian is looking to focus on the track amid all the chaos. Kerley is ready to take on the 100-meter Golden Gala event at the Diamond League Rome 2025. With athletes like Trayvon Bromell and Ferdinand Omanyala, it will be a competitive bracket to conquer.
