Sprinter Justin Gatlin knows that while seeking arbitration in his case favorable to his position and aspirations...he did not overwhelmingly contribute to the federal investigation into widespread doping in the sport when he was (and remains) in a perfect position to assist. According to the media, he may well be the one that gets away. Surely, if one fails twice on tests for banned substances...should one not be stripped of every medal and every entry in the books?

Justin Gatlin should most decidedly not be allowed to compete. He has twice tested positive for banned substances. The first time around, he failed to follow procedures that would have allowed him to take the medication for which he tested positive. The story about someone rubbing a cream on his legs immediately before his test, resulting in a (second) positive test with multiple times the legal limit of testosterone defies logic. It is a sad reality that some athletes believe that drugs is the only way they can be successful. Fine. But there is a cost associated with those beliefs, and all athletes who participate in Olympic sports know the rules on the front end.

Justin should be reinstated to defend his medals he has been out 2 years and if he is caught again then should be ban. I think he learn his lesson DTA (don't trust anybody).

Mr. Gatlin has appeared in the news here and has left quite an impression: Even in Pensacola, where many still know him as the hometown hero, there is criticism. "I woke up one morning at my parents house, and written on the side of my vehicle there was 'Just Say No to Steroids,'" Gatlin said. "That really hurt. I wiped it off and went in the house and broke down. It was painful."

Good story. "Mark" is named "Chris", but otherwise you have good information. He was a Nike-sponsored therapist Keep up the good work.

Gatlin is a cheat and everyone who runs in the Olympics should really think about the guy or girl running in the lane next to them on either side.
