The Olympics may be over, but Noah Lyles is still catching heat … after the U.S. track superstar was seen partying it up in Paris just days after his positive Covid-19 test.
But, Noah says it’s much ado about nothing … the 100m gold medalist says he’s virus-free, and has been since Friday.
Lyles hit up the L’Arc Paris after the closing ceremony on Sunday — five days after testing positive for COVID-19 (Noah revealed he tested positive early Tuesday morning) — and seemed to be enjoying himself in the City of Lights, dancing to a Pop Smoke track while draped in an American flag.
However, some fans on social media called out the 27-year-old for his decision to hit the club, questioning how he went from needing a wheelchair on the track on Thursday, to dancing well into the Paris night on Sunday.
Bottom line — as long as Noah’s right and he isn’t contagious anymore, it’s good to see him feeling better!

It wraps up a whirlwind Olympic Games for the track and field champ. After winning gold in a nail-biter in the men’s 100-meter sprint, Lyles fell short in the 200-meter race, taking home the bronze medal while running with Covid-19.
Of course, the 200m race is Noah’s strongest, and the one he has dominated over the last couple of years.
While Noah’s the one making headlines for his appearance at the club … he wasn’t the only Team USA member in attendance. Seven-time gold medalist Simone Biles was also out enjoying the end of the Olympics, celebrating her three new gold medals!
