Hmmm...Gatlin told to stay away from Beijing meet

[Islandman]

Justin Gatlin says he has been "kicked out" of the Beijing World Challenge by meeting organisers.
The 33-year-old, who has served two doping bans, was due to race in China on Wednesday after running his fastest ever 100m time of 9.74 seconds in Doha.
Gatlin was unsure about his fitness following a flight to Beijing but appeared ready to compete after coming through a training session on Monday.
"They didn't have any respect for me so they said 'you better leave'," he said.

he says he's not the kind of guy to cheat people out of their money.

is a guy who dopes to win races and therefore prize money cheating people out of their money?

Not in Gatlins world.

I see where he said he has forgiven Tyson Gay for doping and costing him a silver medal. LOL! Very gracious of him.

What is really happening?

Organizers of Wednesday’s Beijing World Challenge have denied that they kicked out Justin Gatlin from their meeting and said they were “perplexed” by the controversial sprinter’s claim.

The meeting went ahead without its star attraction Gatlin, who had stormed out of Beijing on Tuesday, claiming that he was ready to run the 100 meters but had been told by organizers he was not wanted.
