(Reuters) - World 100 metres champion Christian Coleman has appealed against his ban for breaching anti-doping whereabouts rules, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Thursday.

CAS said it had registered Coleman's appeal after he was banned for two years by the Athletics Integrity Unit's (AIU) Disciplinary Tribunal last month and is set to miss next year's Tokyo Olympics.
