There is a rumor going around that I did not go to [Edwards’] shoe release because he didn’t deserve it. That is not the case. He definitely deserves his shoes, he is an amazing player. The problem was finding time based on my prior engagements. Congratulations on becoming an Olympic champion,” Lyles tweeted on August 12.
