I'm pretty sick of all this drug stuff goin around, completely killing the name of track and field. Athletes that get caught should grow some damn balls and admit to the public that they have taken an illegal substance when they are caught, rather than denying everything and say "my message therapist tried to set me up." F that crap...Gatlin...be a man...you took drugs to make you run faster...you got caught...quite lying while your image is tarnished and take up river rafting or some shit.
yea since Gatlin said "my massage therapist tried to set me up". Hey f***wad if you did some actual reading you would see that the only person who has blamed the massage therapist is his coach Trevor Graham, who Gatlins lawyers have specifically said are not speaking for Gatlin.
yes i agree Gatlin should be banned but uh telling him to grow some balls? Yea he cheated and denied it like many before him, why would a world recorld holder say after the first test "I cheated' if he had the second test that could possibly clear him? ANd then after the second test is positive he's probably doesn't want to look like he was lying the first time so of course he continues to deny.
It's hard for me to believe Gatlin knowingly took drugs after having already been caught once.
The person crying "set up" the loudest is the turd- Trevor Graham.
Any possbility Graham himself is the one who gave Gaitlin the drug WITHOUT Justin's knowledge?
Perhaps in a nutritional drink. Don't know a lot about doping- so don't know if this is possible or not?
Could be Graham is making so much noise because he knows he never gave Gatlin THIS drug that is showing up in the test. Or he never gave it to him at a time that would have caused it to show up at the time it did. So, he's asking himself, WTF happened? and is looking for a scapegoat or a way out.
Can we not make that coaches of elites need a licence? And this can be revoked if more than one of his runners fails doping (or other) charges? Is that workable?
coaches can be banned, Charlie Francis was banned after the Ben Johnson affair
my ass Gatlin PERHAPS didn't know what was going into his body. tim montgommery was on 7 different drugs including insulin. INSULIN??? i figure he HAD to take that shit to keep him alive due to the affects of the EPO he was on. but c'mon, drug cheats these days just don't sip a milkshake and break world records. they are on a very very complex weekly and monthly regemine of needles, pills, needles and pills which is overseen by a doctor. can't wait for my jammin 94.5 5'oclock trafic jam... jammin ni'fo'fig

God, can people stop making excuses for Gatlin by blaming his coach? If a guy who has been known to give his athletes drugs offers you food/drink in a suspicious way you know damn well what is going on. Gatlin is not a three year old- he is responsible for what is in his body. Fine, ban Graham also, but stop pretending that Gatlin didn't know what he was doing.
Let's face it, the evidence points to most of our top athletes being on the juice. Something needs to be done about it because the sport has turned into a joke.
In addition, USADA, WADA,and the various sports federations need to come up with a standard protocol for testing and announcing results of the tests. There is no way that we find out in July about an april test on Gatlin and then find out 5 days after his race that Landis is also a doper. It makes all the sports look bad.
