    Funny I have liked Justin a lot since he retired but never liked him when he was running...My uncle met him in Grenada and said he is not as bad as he appears on TV and he is a genuinely nice guy.

    I've truly always been a fan and chalked up all that suspension stuff up to if he was then the whole dang thing must be foul and they need to revamp the whole system. Why? Because Gatlin's strength, form and speed was unmatched and a joy to behold. Thank you for holding on Justin.

    Still don't know how he managed to pop not ONCE but TWICE!!!!! He's painting the picture as if he was wrongfully accused and found guilty with words like it was taken from him. I would've loved to have heard his reasoning on why he thought he was innocent of the charges.

    The real truth is Dennis Mitchell is not only a PED user but a PED administering coach along with Trevor Graham and Gatlin was a user and it’s effects last long term. Period. Accept acknowledge and move on like Marion.

    I think it is likely that the trainers around Justin were administering testosterone to him without his knowledge and a competitive coach who know about this was the one who dropped dime with USDA and they did unannounced testing based upon this inside information. The coach who I think dropped dime on Justin is still coaching sprinters today

      I took some sublingual creatine from gnc. I always worked out and ran 3-4 miles after. I did it 3 times that day, went out all night and worked out again before bed the next morning. There is no telling what I took. That was around 1999

    allegations? he took steroids; he tested positive for it. a discussion about taking them because others also did would be informative.

      It may be that if he says "okay I did it" a whole kettle of worms would be opened and a whole lot of questions to follow with a ton of heads would roll. So rather then be a rat he took all the heat by himself.

    Justin, you'll always have the benefit of the doubt with objective people. However, as @tinashechaps2315 commented, going a bit futher about the story's origin and advising others on how to avoid same would've been ideal.
    From the innocence standpoint, I've always wondered why folks i.e Asafa and yourself never pursued Civil damages from the person(s) that wronged you (all). Understandably, knowing something and proving it are miles apart legally speaking.
    It's the feeling of incompleteness that leaves an asterisk more than anything else.

      Because when you pursue a civil remedy you open yourself up to be deposed and no telling what might come up.

      He doesn't need or want your respect. You think he wakes up and thinks "I got to look for Dwayne Sullivan's or anyone's approval and respect?" Some of you folks need to get rid of your delusions of grandeur. He's an Olympic and World champion. Something only a few have done. Oh and you're niave to think elite sprinters are clean... 9/10 of the fastest men ever prior to 2018 had been caught or entangled in some drug story.. This is the real world and you need to get out of your little bubble and high horse and live in this big bad world. That's the reality of this world..🤣

      I guess one would ask what would he have to gain from “admitting”?
      The respect of strangers is overrated in my opinion.
      He probably knows how many athletes were being protected by the drug commission yet he’s being singled out.
