Justin Gatlin banned for 8 years
[Only Registered users can see links . Click Here To Register...]
This sort of ties in with the poll on this section ! He wasn't banned for life, he received an 8 year ban. I think myself that 8 years is a long enough sentence !! World and Olympic 100m champion Justin Gatlin has been banned for up to eight years after accepting he committed a doping violation. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) has set the maximum suspension, but the actual length of it will be determined by an arbitration panel. Gatlin, 24, was facing a life ban after testing positive for testosterone, his second doping offence, on 22 April. But he has agreed to "co-operate in the effort to eradicate drugs from sport". The ban came into effect on 15 August, and is set to run until 24 July, 2014, unless it is overturned or reduced at the arbitration hearing. But Gatlin will forfeit results from 22 April, the date of his positive test, including the 100m world record he ran in Doha in May of 9.77 seconds, a time he jointly holds with Jamaican Asafa Powell. I think its good that he has had his races forfeited too. But by the time the Ban ends he will be too old to compete, so really it is a ban for the rest of his career !!

He deserves his 8 year ban...
A World record holder in probably the most popular event in Athletics, what sort of example is he setting for other aspiring athletes... Good I'm glad he was banned...
