As a Jamaican I love out athletes but I have always respected Justin Gatlin. This guy works hard and is a fierce competitor. To me, you are one of the legends of the sport.
Facts facts about that 💯
Facts!!! I have always admired and respected his great professionalism, determination and sportsmanship. We all make mistakes and he has surely paid for his. Definitely a legend in track and field.

I like Justin Gatlin he seems a cool brother
Track and field is your life with out Jesus CHRIST you nothing put HIM first without HIM you nothing one day we all will and shall meet HIM
Great interview. Justin will be remembered as one of the best.🇯🇲
americans are doing a propaganda campaign against jamaica. infiltrating comments, pretending to be jamaican saying some lovey-dovey stuff to soften their animosity against usa which is a powerful driving force, while amongst themselves they're stoking hate against caribbeans
Gatlin shows us we should never never give up nuff nuff respect bro 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I will never understand why people dislike this gentleman so much. A very graceful competitor. This was a good interview.
This was certainly a great on-point interview. Irrespective of our personal views of Gatlin, we can't deny the fact that he has contributed a lot to track and field. Thanks for sharing.
The man shouldn't have been given an audience. He is totally devoid of credibility. There is no sugar coating his profile. He was twice busted for PEDs. He blamed one of his
positives on a disgruntled massage therapist and has never recanted his story. This is despite classifying himself as born again Christion . To be Christian one has to
atone for one sins.
He was using PEDs when he and his training partner Shawn Crawford won the 100M and 20M at the Olympics. They were both pupils of the infamous coach, Trevor
Graham. A camp that contained Balco clients such as Marion Jones and former 100M world record holder Tim Montgomery.
Justin Gatlin's lying lips have not been inactive. In a recent interview he stated the controversial Miss Sha'Carri Richardson recorded times of 10.5 for 100M in training.
This hasn't been collaborated by either the athlete or her coach.Why make such false disclosures? If Miss Richardson recording a times of 10.5 it would a have been all over the news. It has never
been reported that the elite Jamaican female sprinters were recording times of 10.5 in training. And they are much faster and possess more talent than Miss Richardson.
Reference was made of Gatlin's contribution to T&F. That has to be viewed in context. After his 4 years ban. He returned running faster than any sprinter his age category. And
was much faster than when he was in his twenties. His performances were not dissimilar to those of Flo Jo, Michael Johnson and Carmelita Jeter. The aforementioned
three discovered the fountain of youth very late in their careers. All 3 were enhanced to the skies.
When Mr. Gatlin retires he will leave a stain of T&F similar to the one left by Flo Jo. Just as his interview will leave a stain on this forum. I am big fan of Mr. Levy but I am
grossly disappointed that he chose to provide this tainted athlete with yet another forum for him to leave his stain.
NB: The 18 upvotes so far suggests ingnorance of Justin Gatlin's history on the part of the voters.
@@Coldfacts535 "Then Peter came up and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven."
@@Coldfacts535 just like Nestor Carter'.asafa. and so on????
@@HMcdon Respect and forgiveness must be earned. Neither should easily given, particularly to those who are unrepentant. This tainted man doesn't seek forgiveness but rather acceptance. His lies about Sha'Carri Richardson recording 10.5 on multiple occasions were uttered 12 years or more after his lies about his massage therapist. The man has been living a lie for a very long time. Folks who entertain such people, further enables them. My forgiven is for the worthy. I hate to admit but some folks are beyond redemption.
NB:
There should never be acceptance where there should be disgust - Mark Plamer
BTW - Your bible quotes suggests you are one the folks that believes there is a celestial authority located somewhere above. I suggest you read 'od Is Not Great' by Christopher
Hitchens. His most thought provoking quote is as follows - 'That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.'
You appear to be fine young man. Focus on the fact that people make the world go around. We need each other more than any mythical or imaginary God and his son.
EDIT - 'God Is Not Great' by Christopher
Hitchens
Big up yuh self Justin we Jamaicans admire you as a great athlete well done we are proud of you❤😍
This interview was so good loved every minute of it
Leighton... brilliant interview, well prepared. Gatlin also gave a great account of himself; very eloquent and humble! Love and respect!👏🏽🇯🇲
My man is a master interviewer. He knows his sport.
Great interview!!! Sometimes as Jamaican fans we don't get to hear the perspective of athletes from other countries, especially americans. Gatlin made the rivalry with Bolt an exiting one for the sport.
Facts......
Exciting...
Well said.
americans are doing a propaganda campaign against jamaica. infiltrating comments, pretending to be jamaican saying some lovey-dovey stuff to soften their animosity against usa which is a powerful driving force, while amongst themselves they're stoking hate against caribbeans
Trust me on this. Jamaicans used to cheer for Gatlin. Facts.
This is how you do an interview - Great stuff. Always feared and respected Gatin. Wishing him much success after he hangs those spikes.
Regardless of nationality ,Gatlin is a great guy.The only reason all of Jamaica wasn't his fan was that, our star ,was his rival.
No it’s because he was caught doping... twice!!!
When JA athletes get caught doping do they get casted away for life?
spitting in rivals lanes?
These guys: Coleman, Gatlin, Bolt, Simbine, De Grasse are an inspiration to the up and coming young athletes. They even shake hands when one won. The young athletes are learning a lot from them especially RESPECT. The competition between USA and Jamaica is one of the best👐

Very good interview, big ups to the ultimate warrior JG!! One of the best to ever do it even with the negatives he came back and worked his butt off.
Hard worker , great athlete , big up Justin
He will be one of the best..doesn't sound like the person I assumed he was..very good interview!!
This guy is the best sprinter of all time except my favorite Usain Bolt. I salute Justin Gatlin
The reality is, this is a planned interview, so we don't know who he really is. We will never know.
@@mistermilkman facts
@@mistermilkman really! How would you know who he really is? Does he have to be your neighbor?
@@sheldongayle6634 I didn't say I did. None of us know. We don't live with him, nor r we around him daily. Get out ur feelings. I simply stated a fact. I said nothing negative about him.
Every man deserves a second chance at redemption and *Justin Gatlin* is no different.
We shouldn't be judged based on our fall, but instead celebrated on our rise from such depths. *Justin* have paid his dues and represented our nation and the world with class and honor against the great *Usain Bolt.*
Seeing *Usain* coming to *Justin's* defense was and still one of the most emotional moments 😢 I have ever seen. It brought tears to my eyes, because it's like a prodigal son being accepted back into the fold by his most celebrated younger brother.
We all got to understand that these athletes are human beings with feelings who feel pain just like everyone else. Regardless of nationality we must treat these athletes with much care and empathy, not with vitriol and hatred.
So *Justin* we thank you sir, for your exceptional career and dedication to our sport. As you near the end of a stellar career, you're most worthy and deserving of all the flowers 💐 🙌 you have received. Bless up and keep on inspiring 🇺🇸🙏🇯🇲
Great interview! Competition is usually fierce and fierce words comes with that, This interview has thought me a lot about Gatlin. Respect! And he also uses this word a lot. A good man and I hope the world watches this to just know him better. Wish you all the best Justin Gatlin!
After this interview, I have 100% respect for him as a person
One of the best 👍🏾
He is really one cool dude. He is amazed why Jamaicans are so fast. Long before Usain was on the scene. That fool ran at Ward Island in about 1992 n Jamaicans cheered for him. Anyways after the event he came to a dance with Jamaicans. Fun fact his college track team had a lot of carribean runners on it. So he has been in Jamaica a lit of times.
Brilliant Interview !!! Levy you were well prepared. You were flawless !!! Justin !!! We all know you've had a "bump in the road" re your Track and Field journey. Irrespective of that, you are a "Great Human Being and an Amazing Athlete." Picture this - 100m final, World Champs , Beijing 2015 - This is the first time that I actually "prayed" for an athlete. You were in such great shape, you were the favorite, you had me worried, so much so that I locked myself in my bathroom and prayed for Usain. It worked !!! Thanks for all the excitement over the years. You and Usain have enriched our lives. Love it !!!
Wow! 2015 100m final (SMH)!! I clearly remember the nervousness in 🇯🇲 and all over the athletics world before that race. It was the epitome of GOOD vs EVIL. Thankfully for us Gatlin messed up and Usain won! BTW while you were praying a lot of us were in the toilet!!
Dwl. So true!
@@paulwilson8990 TV 6 News Live Stream.
This was great! It’s nice to hear things from the athlete’s perspective sometimes. Wishing you guys continued success with this show.
New found respect for Justin. Brilliant interviewer...great questions with heartfelt responses.
Leighton, the reason why Bolt side he didn’t like Gatlin was because he said Gatlin walked across his lane and spat in his lane. You should have asked the question directly, based on what Bolt accused him of.
As long as Justin is fit to Run
He Will run that's what makes him
A great competitor.
Good luck to you Mr. Gatlin
Justin is the most disciplined sportsman in modern history. Never gave up and kept pushing. He let his rival make him stronger. I love these two men who made sprinting an entertainment! I will miss them.
Justin last answer about yohan etc was the icing on the cake
For real, thought so myself
I have a new respect for Justin Gatlin. This interview was in-depth and poignant. Thank you Leighton Levy. You are a master at your craft.
Catlin is a great athlete. He is a good motivator for young people He is my favorite athlete of all times.
I've always respect and love Justin..he contributed so much to the sports..🇯🇲🇯🇲🥰🥰😍😍♥️❤️
Great interview. Justin is a very passionate athlete. The track and field just isn't the same without him and Usain. I respect him for his persistence. He defines being an athlete. Usain may be faster but I truly thing Justin is a more dedicated athlete. I love Usain. But I also have a respect for Justin. And if he thinks he can still go then you go Justin.!! God bless you.
@ Claudia Morales
Why are you comparing their dedication and why are you here putting Bolt down anyway? It doesn't matter whether or not who was dedicated, because it's all about what happened on the day. What would have happened then if Bolt was dedicated as Gatlin as you put's it? Gatlin and the rest probably would not even bother to think about competing, because they would have no chance. Lets keep it positive and don't kill anyone here.
I have so much respect for this young man, he is truly a great competitor and a tremendous athlete.
Gatlin is a 3 time World Champion. 2005 World Champion in 200m as well.
Great interview. Gatlin might have had one of the greatest career comebacks in the sport for all time. He earned his spot in the sport.
Always a good interview blessings Gatling on your future endeavours 🇯🇲🇯🇲 to the world 🌎
I always respect Gatlin. He a very honest guy with class act. A Jamaican respect to Gatlin...
I admire JG so much. To come from a 4 year suspension and return like you never took a year off. Even the way he handled those reporters who kept bringing up his drug past. One of my favorites and one of the GOAT'S.
Gatlin he didn't age 1 bit.
Fountain of youth😎
Always cute though
WATCHING THIS INTERVIEW LET ME HAVE ALOT OF RESPECT FOR JUSTIN ONE OF TRACK AND FIELD LEGEND
Justin you love the sport so much, you should start a training camp
The media loves to create narratives and the fans love to eat it up, so it’s good to hear from the perspective of the actual athlete. Wish him the best in whatever he decides to do.
Agreed. However, let's not pretend that the athlete in question has not contributed significantly to the narratives that exist about him.
@@sherwood9917 other being caught red handed with drugs, everything else seemed exaggerated to hype up the rivalry between him and Bolt to give the fans something to trash talk about. He never hated him. They just weren’t friends and that’s okay, you don’t need to be friends with your competitors.
@@nicolecooper1569 Correct. My point is that Justin also contributed to the narratives-both good and bad. Spitting in a rival's lane, for example, is trashy behavior.
Yea he’s nothing like he’s portrayed. He’s Villainized for getting caught for what most were likely doing.
@@mssha1980 Nelly, where did I mention anything about trash talking? Please point that portion out in my statement. Also, I am not sure why my statements are being interpreted as a slight towards Justin. My point is that he has contributed to both narratives that exist about him.
I have always liked this guy, Justin Gatlin. He was a class athlete and a thoughtful human being. I am glad for the competition he provided against other athletes. I actually miss it.
Great interview, changed my perspective on Justin, he has earned my respect
I'm Glad I thought I was the only one ❤🙏🏿
So true
Wonderful on-point interview, one of my favorite athletes. Wishing him all the best!!
Great interview 👍🏿
OMG! What a brilliant interview!! Wishing Justin all the best. I didn't like him before, but after watching the epic battles I gained tremendous respect for him, especially at his age. To go up against the intensity of Bolt for so long and finally pull off a win is no small accomplishment. Always enjoy listening to your interviews.
Excellent interview.... Justin definitely one of the greatest ever
Lol very surprised how positive this comment section is
Great interview! This interview I must admit, changed my perception about him. I wish this brother all the best with his future endeavours... along with good health and continued blessings. Much love me Bredda!.. from 🇯🇲. Now, you is family!
Thanks for that insightful interview. Justin is one of my all -time favorites!
The was a great interview. Wow he’s so articulate....

What an extensive interview Leighton? Good luck Justin and thanks for the memories.
I really enjoyed this interview. Justin Gatlin is a wonderful person and this interview let us know who he is as an athlete and a person. He has definitely left a legacy that is enviable and a blueprint for the athletic generation.
Great interview. All the best Gats...🙏🙏🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Show the man respect clean hearted guy🖤
Awesome interview!
This interviewer has really studied Gatlin well , his questioner is well constructed.
Gatling is a Legend, and he knows how to talk:) Super interview!Also good to hear that he and Bolt is "friends".
This was a great interview. Nuff Respect Justin
Great interview.
What a composed man Gatlin is both as a world champion athlete as well as person who knows the reality of the sport.
Great interview
Such a power-packed interview.
I love this interview - well done
Excellent interview Leighton! The side of Justin that the media has always hidden.
Great interview. That's how an interview is done .
Great interview! One luv 🇯🇲
Thank you Justin for your contribution to Track n Field. Much respect!
I really enjoyed this interview. I can't say I always liked Justin, simply because of how the media make us believe he is. He is really a nice guy. very good interview and I really respect him. Wish him all the best in his future endeavours. God bless you.
Justin we respect you a lot you never give up.....
Good and honest interview. Gatlin should write a book. Love
I really love justin gatlin love from india
Great interview 👍 👏love and respect to you
I definitely enjoyed this one Mr Levy.
Bless up Justin respect to you as a Jamaican
Amazing Justin
Lots of love and respect
Justin has always been an athlete that I respect. He's right when he said many people would have crumbled, I seriously don't know how he did it. I was so sad for the youngster, I really think they were bashing him too much. Even being boed at the starting of a race really he's one of the best. As a matter of fact put championship wins and w.r aside he's right their with Usain with great mental power and capacity to stay on top no matter what. More powers to you Justin!!! Keep on teaching.
Jamaica always and forever will have love for justin he is a legend for real
I have so much respect for Gatlin...
Only a great man gives that much credit where it was due.
Just awesome
I am a jamaican and justin gatlin is a good runner i love his energy he has fighting spirite
Great interview(er), great subject. Big up Shearer!
Blake is the one who pushed Usain the most. Real talk.
Gatlin was a great sprinter.
Big up to Justin one of the all time greats .he has great techniques maybe the best starter and a real fighter .
Thank you!
9:00 the comeback
14:00 making peace with mistakes
Gatlin truly one of the best sprinters we have seen. on Usian..."he brought the best out of me..." If Usain did not exist, Gatlin would be a strong contender for the title of best sprinter. wish him well...
Big up yuhself Justin Gatlin! Big respect to you!
Good interview
Wow, wonderful interview. You can see that he love and respect his Jamaican competitors. Usain has left a void in the sport and he certainly will too. I'm not seeing the fire on the track anymore (in the men's race that is). All the best Gatlin
True very true
Then you are not really watching track then. Men's sprinting is more competitive than it has been since 2012
@@afrobuddy4801 Agreed!!!!!! It’s not a one man domination rather so much competition now and great times still being reached
Good 👍 on you Justin hope to see in jamaica partying with Usain
You have my highest respect Justin Gatlin. You are a true LEGEND and an eminent persona within this sporting arena of track and field. Much love from Jamaica.
And i also think he is one of the male top sprinter who could run 9.6 something
Respect my brother l know you are amongst the greatest 👍🏿
Justin is a good honest humble guy but I don't think it was necessary for him to bow to Usain
He said he was paying homage
Bow to NO MAN...only to God.
Justin Gatlin is 1 of the best Athlete 🇯🇲🇺🇸
Justin Indeed has earned his place amongst the greats.
Big up yourself Gatlin.U will be missed on the track.💕
I always felt he was one of the best and a good person
"Exciting runner; love seeing him, run, and I'm a JAMAICAN "; amazing burst of speed, he's very, very, hard to catch.
HE IS A REALLY GREAT PERSON 👍🏽
I always love Gatling
