Christian Coleman shrugged off the controversy of his build‑up to the World Championships to win the 100m final in 9.76 seconds.

The pre‑event favourite, who avoided a ban for three missed doping tests, finished well clear of defending champion and fellow American Justin Gatlin, who clocked 9.89 in Doha.

Canada's Andre de Grasse took bronze in 9.90.
