His explanation:
Gatlin is questioned for running his fastest times at an advanced age of 33, after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2006.
“I think it’s more a gift than a curse,” Gatlin said of not competing from 2006 to 2010 to NBC Olympics analyst Ato Boldon on USATF.TV. “I think it gave my legs a little shelf life. I never had any major injuries, maybe a hamstring strain here or a quad strain there. I just really wanted to show everybody that I could come back. But it wasn’t [just] me. I want to say that guys like yourself, Ato Boldon, Frankie Fredericks, Carl Lewis, Leroy Burrell, Linford Christie, those guys ran well into their 30s [editor’s note: Boldon and Burrell did not break 10 seconds in the 100m in their 30s]. I’m just taking that page out of their book. You know what, your career’s not over when you hit 30. I think a lot of guys this day and age think that.”http://olympictalk.nbcsports.com/201...ague-olympics/Peter R

tek what I am going to tell you with a grain of salt.
Time in Eugene must not be taken to seriously. You notice how everybody have fast times? That is what always happen. I don't know if it is the altitude or the track but times are usually faster here.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

Haha funny, what about applying your stuff to the quote 'it is more a gift than a curse', I guess that may be right in both instances, the gift of breathing air and the gift of running via 'additives' both cases give life.Comment

So true!Comment

yes but there and the place that they have the US trials always produce great times.
That can drive fear in your piers when they see the extra fast times.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.
