delayed competition for almost an hour by refusing to leave the Paris track where the meet was being held. He protested for a period of time by lying down on the track. He eventually left the track of his own volition, reportedly in tears. It is one of a number of cases which relate to the revised false-start policies. After retirement At the 2012 London Olympics, Drummond was the relay coach for the U.S. Track Team. The men's 4x100 metres relay team equalled the existing world record in the Olympics, though were defeated by a new world record by Jamaica. The women's team won and crushed the world record. In an event where improvements are normally recorded in hundredths of a second, the team knocked more than a half a second off the record that had stood for more than a quarter of a century. Drummond worked as a fitness trainer at Daired's Pangea Spa in Arlington, Texas. He also formerly coached sprinter Tyson Gay. He is also a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity and was formerly a member of Kirk Franklin's gospel group The Family. He has also followed in his minister father's footsteps as pastor at Noville Memorial Church of God in Christ in Philadelphia. He was Inducted into the Texas Track and Field Coaches Hall of Fame, Class of 2014. In 2014, after having tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, Tyson Gay, Drummond's former athlete, was investigated, leading to the implication that Drummond had "encouraged his use of the banned products and transported them for him." The investigation resulted in an eight-year ban from the sport for Drummond. Drummond was banned until December 16, 2022.
