Title: Will Justin Gatlin be vindicated in time for the Olympics?
Post by: Tre on January 01, 2008, 10:56:46 PM

He takes prescription amphetamines for his ADD.  This caused him to have his first positive test in 2001. 

He maintains that he has no idea how his test levels became elevated for the April 2006 test that earned him the 8-year ban.  The ban has been reduced to 4 years, but if he can get the 2001 case cleared, then it's possible he could receive a further reduction to 2 years.

It could be wishful thinking on my part, but I believe Justin.  When I saw this skinny little kid flying down the track all those years ago, if he was taking anything, it certainly wasn't obvious in his physique.  I think his growth came naturally as he matured into his frame. 

I hope he is given the chance to compete again while still in his prime.
