Justin Gatlin...... track career RIP

He'll try to make the Olympic team next year then retire.

He's still one of the top American 100m guys and can make a WC or Oly team when healthy. Why would he retire? Once his running starts going down the toilet like Jeremy Wariner, I fully support his retirement. Given his age, he probably knows he only has a couple of more good seasons ahead of him anyway.

Just watched Justin Gatlin pull up in the 200m in Grenada. Hes now 37.... cmon. It's time to retire. Uve had a career filled with highs(many) and lows.. This track season is a long one with the WC's in mid October. I guess we will c if he gets healthy and comes back. My guess is that we will see him next time in mid June in Europe at a Diamond League meet. It's just time for him to retire. Am I the only one with "Justin Gatlin Fatigue "!

Get that doper out of here!

How many posters and readers on letsrun pour hate onto Justin Gatlin but at the same time show love for Tom Brady? Tom Brady and Patriots organization have cheated in so many ways over the past 19 or so years. Tom Brady: the only quarterback in the history of football who was able to throw a football harder and further from ages 28 to 38 than Brady was able to throw at ages 18 to 23. IMO, Brady is the world's most successful micro-doper in the history of sport. Tie yourself into knots letsrun readers and posters with your Justin Gatlin hate.

only 1.3% of Gatlin haters express any opinion at all about Brady or the NFL.

He won the WC 100 in London (2017) as a result he has a bye into the WC this year. Just has to run at the usatf meet (like some have done race 1 round and pull out) and he will be in doha

I see no need for any track and field/road runner to retire ever. One of the beauties of the sport is that runners (especially distance runners) can continue to compete even at a diminishing level. If they love it they should continue.

You're obviously a whiny Jets fan. You rub me the wrong way.

This is why Paula Radcliffe had to retire at her peak.

Who says Brady microdopes? Why should he? You think the NFL is really going to pop star players for PEDs? All they do is occasionally give a low tier name a slap on the wrist. It’s just not treated as a serious issue.

If he’s done, he’s done. For my money, he’s already sewn up a claim to one of the most interesting stories in sports history, and one of the greatest comebacks of all time, in any sport. Highs, lows, controversies, rivalries, fans, haters. A 12 year gap between world titles. That beautifully savage “shhhhhh” when he beat Bolt and Coleman in 2017. Love him or hate him, he’s had quite a run.

Are you really involved in track when you’ve never actually run all the way around a track?

You're the only one that writes like a 13 year old girl that's texting her friends.

??????????? She ran World x-c champs in Boston 1992.

He’s the reigning 100m World Champion.

He has a bye to the World Championships I believe.
