Riker Hylton


Riker Hylton is a Jamaican sprinter, competing in the 400 metres.
Riker Hylton won a bronze medal as part of the Jamaican team in the 4 × 400 metres relay at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics in Daegu. He also ran in the 400 metres, where he was eliminated in the semi-finals
Hylton did not make the individual 400m Jamaican team for the 2012 Summer Olympics, but did compete in the 4 × 400 metres relay, running the second leg in the heats before Jermaine Gonzales pulled up injured.
In 2017, he was charged with evading a doping test by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission. He was cleared of any wrongdoing by Jamaica's Independent Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel. The Panel was not "comfortably satisfied" that Hylton had been properly notified by JADCO. Hylton was represented by noted sports attorney Dr. Emir Crowne.
