Don't tell me the Brits were trying to claim him as one of their own.

Gatlin winning is bad for the sport.

Universally disliked and now world champion

Bolt should have retired after Rio on a high. He had nothing to gain by trying to go on another year.

He has been good for the sport and its image and there may never be another like him .

I totally agree.

Gatlin should never even have been allowed to run.

Banned twice for taking drugs - IMO shouldn't be allowed to compete again

I know but he did his two suspensions like any other sports person would so he did the crime he served his time so he was perfectly free to run....

I feel like nowadays 90% of the athletes we see on TV or anywhere else are taking drugs.

For example, the Tour de France, it's not cycling anymore, but doping and hiding it competition.

There are no high performance atheletes who have been 100% clean all their career. All athletes from athletics to cycling to weightlifting are using PEDs during their off season training. It's all about specific timing on when to stop coming up to competition regardless of the sport.

Gatlin is no different to any other high performance athelete out there only for the fact he tested positive.

For every performance enhancer out there and every test they have there are ways to mask the reading and ways to appear clean if you're smart about it.

Definitely agree that Bolt should have called it a day after the Rio olympics and left on a high note

I remember years back when the tour de France started in Ireland

We had a massive snail shortage for years after

Gatlin got caught twice...

Not once twice..

Caught and banned then caught and banned again..

Should have been a life time ban.

Yes it should have. I know Bolt still wouldn't have won but I'd rather the credit for beating him had gone to Coleman

Well, you know it ain't over until the Doping Control Officer sings...

If Bolt is clean, he'll be remembered and can always hold his head high as one of the few clean athletes out there

I don't think he'll test positive. He's broken so many records that he must have been tested 100's of times
