He cut ties with everyone associated with his old group and knows he is under a microscope...do you really think he is doping or is it just something cute to say. Gatlin will forever be known as an ex-doper, perhaps that is fair, but when someone has paid the price for their misdeeeds, they should be allowed to move on. Btw, his comeback is a pretty amazing story.
Do you remember Ben Johnson's comeback?
haha
Back to Gatlin, that's a 9.77 with max legal wind, in MAY.
That was a really solid 100m, IN SMOG! IN MAY! Rodgers wasn't gaining on him this time--in fact it looked like Kimmy Collins was gaining on Rodgers at the end.
Take a look at Chambers and you will see how a former doper should "come back". Chambers is now clean, and still good, although he's not going to win anything.
Gatlin, ugh. Oh well, we KNOW Powell and Gay are doped, and it's obvious that Bolt and Blake are doped, so who cares, the top X guys are all doing whatever the top X-1 guys are doing.
How about Walter Dix, now there is a guy who should do some dope! Or speed, I hear it burns fat.
p.s. concerning the smog--there are rumors that the Chinese are pumping aerosolized downers into their city atmospheres to keep the people from going nuts.
9.86 basic on downers, this guy will go 9.75 this year
