Gatlin very classy for a guy that found out on live TV that his team got DQd.

Two time convicted drug doper showing a lack of hubris....

Grow up millenial.

He is the ultimate fake job.

80s child, biatch. Give the dude a break. We all make mistakes; just ask your mom.

No he has no class. The rule is you don't cheat by taking drugs.

I corrected his "millenial" assumption.

I was impressed. He just said he was proud of his teammates... Very composed as the idiot reporter explained the rule to them that they all know. I woulda been pissed.

The reporter probably explained it cause half the audience doesn't know the rules of track

Maybe in his head, but he was explaining it to the guys as they watched the replay. It was really awkward.

Incredibly classy. For a drug cheat. Justin, don't go away mad. Just go away.

How did you correct that? You can be both an 80s child and a millennial.

Millennials are generally considered birth years 82/83-ish to 2004, sport.

It is actually possible that he has been rehabilitated.

Good one!

Gatlin's supposed first conviction was because he didn't properly seek an exemption, according to North American Arbitration Sport Panel that heard his claim against USADA:

They specifically state "he is not a doper" in their decision. There was no intent to cheat and his ADD condition and medication (Adderall) was validated by medical professionals. In fact, they referred to it as a "paperwork violation."

As for the 2006 violation, he served a 4-year suspension.

Even the freakin' BrosJohnson had a reasonable story on this:

So STFU about two-time drug doper & fake job BS. You are an ignorant A-Hole. (not surprising that idiots rule on this cesspool site, but still use your fricking brain & internet connection and actually learn some facts before babbling your hate)

You dorks still don't understand the talent and hard work to get to that level, even with PEDs. But of course you don't understand, because you have no athletic talent. You likely have no talent in any area. You certainly aren't talented at trolling and posting on message boards.

Glad you were impressed, because he was the moron who left late and caused the pass to commence before the baton entered the passing zone. In case you are even more dense than I think you are, this means that the DQ was Gatlin's fault!

Rodgers couldn't exactly just smash into Gatlin and then wait 4m to commence the pass.

That you don't be a jackass and bad sport.

One of the incoming runner's responsibilities is to NOT pass until they are at the passing zone line.

This is very simple, regardless of level, and in my coaching, I clearly identify fault during relay practice and re-iterate responsibilities if athletes screw up. (I have been relay coach for a multi-sport games in which the teams I was coaching had 2.75 sec and 2.56 sec differentials between SB sum and 4x100m times, on 2.5 practice sessions.)

Really? I actually thought you had to be born later than that to be considered a millennial. Either way I am safe :-)

You are probably right that he left late.

However, it is the baton carrier's job to make sure it does not get passed early. My high school athletes know how to run side-by-side in the same lane with a baton without tripping each other; I imagine a couple of Olympians can do the same thing.

Plenty of blame to go around.

Even more props to Gatlin for remaining composed if it was his fault.
