Works for me too.

1. The Telegraph should have started with their own backyard, loaded with violators.

2. This is not the first time Mr Wagner has been associated with PEDs. See interview with Angel " Memo" Hernandez. Mitchell was a former client.

3. Stop living in denial, the sport has been and will always be dirty. The majority of elites are doped.

The USA should be banned from the oympics. all the dopers and kissers.

who the hell is paying $250k for a cycle of testosterone and growth hormone?

Exactly. Something is off. $2500, maybe?

If guy with legit business also sells illicit products it could be papered up with an over-payment for legit product and services. The "designer drugs" reference from the article comes to mind.

If athlete guy is barred from buying even the legit product, his access to the menu could be provided for through a non-athlete who uses the same agent.

I too defended Justin Gatlin from the booing because I felt he'd done his time. As damaging as this is, I don't think anyone would trust a con trying to snag a deal by dropping the name of his biggest associate. It's every easy to say, 'yes, athlete X uses these too' when trying to sell something. Just like Weinstein told his victims that certain are where they are because they played ball. No way of proving it.

Obviously Gatlin was clean after his comeback, because he never tested positive although everyone was watching him and testing him left and right.

All this slander makes me angry!

I am among those who want to believe Gatlin is clean (now) and that he has been tested, as you say, "left and right". But do we really know that he has; and that he has passed those tests? Given what the IAAF is going through with Lamine Diack, how can we know that the testing procedure is as bona fide as we are led to believe? Do you know this for sure? Can we be sure of anything in this sport any more?

I am not a Justin Gatlin fan, but there is nothing in this at all. If someone was going to pay me $250,000 I wouldn't hesitate in supplying drugs. You can buy testosterone and HgH for $250

On another side as well, isn't his agent Renaldo Nehemiah?

Genuine question, what is implied by Nehemiah being his agent for you? Are you saying that lends legitimacy to Gatlin's claims of being clean?

Once again, simple allegations are being used to try to bring down an athlete, simply because he beat an aging former world champion, Usain Bolt. We have to stop allowing the press to use baseless allegation as a weapon to bring down individuals who they feel are unworthy, without any proof whatsoever. Justin Gatlin is one of the most "tested" athletes in the world. He has not failed a drug test in 14 yrs. No doubt that this attack has Sebastian Coe and his ilk(Gatlin haters) written all over it. Sebastian Coe has already said that (even before the Olympics) he feels Justin Gatlin should have been banned for life. So if we can't prove he is doing PED's, let's just entrap those around him by offering them bribes of $250 thousand dollars for something they could get at any weightlifting gym for $1000 dollars, and if they take they bride let's try to conflate their actions with the guilt of Justin Gatlin without any proof at all. If they have any proof Justin Gatlin is currently using PED's then they should "put up or shut up." Reinaldo Nehemiah was right when he said "I don't condone doping but Justin Gatlin is not the poster child for it. "He's done his time, he plays by the rules, the IAAF reinstated him. They said if you come back we should accept that. "So to put a narrative out that it's just Justin Gatlin and he's the bad guy, it's really not fair. It's inhumane. It's unsportsmanlike." Justin Gatlin is playing by your rules and now you're upset because he won, and you wanted someone else to win. Leave Justin Gatlin alone!

Heres the proof that gatlin is still juicing. His performances "without steroids" are similar to his performances with steroids so either steroids dont work or hes still cheating. Lets stop being playing dumb about the sport of track and field especially sprints. Go down the list of top 100 meter sprinters in the past 20 years and you will see a very strange coincidence. https://www.iaaf.org/athletes/united-states/justin-gatlin-176453

This site's founders and friends will do anything to discredit the guy.

Does this mean anything? No.

People are being convicted based on supposition these days, which is terrible and ridiculous.

This isn't an issue of drugs, but rather one of bigotry, politics and hatefulness.

If Gatlin is 100% clean I'll go to a camp that will pray the gay away.

Your stats amount to a crock of schit. They do not prove in any way that Justin Gatlin is currently using performance-enhancing drugs.

Allegations do not amount to proof. Justin Gatlin in innocent until he has a positive drug test. If they are willing to spend $250,000 to entrap those around Justin Gatlin, why not just pay off a lab technician to fudge the result against Gatlin? This isn't an issue of drugs, but rather one of bigotry, politics and hatefulness.

The current testing system is a joke. This is why many athletes have been able to beat their testing protocol.

I have a feeling pressure will be applied and they will be forced to do a CIRT test. Oh Lord, the proof is in the pudding.

Definitely, if Renaldo isn't his agent then why are they making accusations against Gatlin?

Once a son of a whore, always a son of a whore.

Please explain your position. A person that has 2 drug bans on their record who now has allegations of a 3rd, whos coach is caught selling steroids, whos performances have stayed the same despite aging and supposedly being clean. Please explain to me why you believe this person is clean?

Justin Gatlin is the best, and always has been (drug or no drugs). The guy is blessed from God with extreme speed talent. Bolt lost fair and square, it's as simple as replying the tape. By the way, if anybody is or has been doping, it's Bolt (Jamaican sprint stars are as dirty as Russia or the USA sprint stars).
