Justin Gatlin embroiled in new doping scandal

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

Exactly. Something is off. $2500, maybe?

Good News:

They can’t take away a 4x100 medal if the team was DQ’d or DNF’d. Don’t have to worry about team USA losing medals!

If those 2 guys start naming names during the IAAF investigation this could be Balco 2 (or 3 or 4) and bring down a lot of athletes, coaches, and medical personal.

I still remember when JG won and a lot of patriotic letsrun users just coudn't understand why the British audience booed him. Nationalism makes you blind. Learn your lesson. JG has always been a doper, and will always be.

Some of us who are Americans agree with you.

Anyone with any idea about this sport would have to question Dennis Mitchell. You would have to be a moron not to suspect him.

Regarding Robert Wagner, scum of the lowest form. He is like I hold over from Hitler's Youth. Having said that, I have always been a fan of Justin Gatlin.

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.

Who would pay that much? wrote:

The real shocking info about this is not so much these guys are tied to shady stuff, but why would an actor ever pay $250,000 for some testosterone and growth hormone that they could get supplied by their own doctor? Or they could buy it online for less than 1% of that cost. Something isn't right about that.

Actors who play superman or the like need to suddenly bulk up like Hugh Jackedman in a space of months or weeks. No legit doctor is going to supply them what they need.

Everybody defending Gatlin from the booing was a head in the sand delusional wishful thinking apologist ...

No country has such a strong track record in doping as the USA#1.

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!

This is shocking news. I never would have guessed that gatlin would have anything to do with steroids.

Or sprinters involved with testosterone & GH - it doesn't seem possible. And just when I thought it was safe to watch the sport again. ?

But frequent testing doesn't show that you're clean - look at Lance.

The trouble is that nobody can prove they're clean. Still, it's at best poor judgement to associate with these people if he really is clean.

The report says one of the suspected PEDs is HGH. I wonder if that might be GHRP-2...aka: the Speeeeeeeeeed Peptide? ?

The" Lance never tested positive" reference again. Please research, he did test positive but it was covered up. He then dictated when he got tested and was allowed to. That's how corrupt cycling was.

As for Gatlin, he may not be "guilty in a court of law" proof here but he's clearly and obviously still doping. My biggest concern is this claim that there is a way of drops produced by universities that is detection proof. I thought for once the testers where closing in on that given recent doping schemes were for dodgy TUEs. But of course it could always be a "marketing claim" to hook a newbie doper.

So if you get away with it, you didn't do it? Great logic.

Worked for me.

I reminded you that he was clean. Stop making stuff up. Typical letsrun slander. Some trolls here even implied once that Lady Radcliffe have might have used blood doping. The nerves!

rek; this was your style on those ongoing EPO debates - a little satire with some seriousness mixed in. So, are you being serious or humorous? ? (btw, since those EPO threads dried up it's good to see you still posting on some doping related threads).

This is a crappy job of trolling. You should have gone with rekrunnr. People will notice the double kk before they notice a missing e at the end. You should have registered it, too. That would have fooled someone for a minute and given you some brief happiness.
