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

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

My man is a master interviewer. He knows his sport.

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

Facts......

Exciting...

Well said.

Trust me on this. Jamaicans used to cheer for Gatlin. Facts.

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?

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 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.

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.

For real, thought so myself

@ 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.

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.

Always cute though

I'm Glad I thought I was the only one ❤🙏🏿

So true

He said he was paying homage

Bow to NO MAN...only to God.

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

“Hated”is not the right word to use in this situation,dum dum

Yes indeed! He is family!... circumstances just kept us apart. Blessings to the brother!

@@pbrown7357 Ediot bwoy that's why it is expressed with quotations. Only REAL Jamaican Overstand what that meant. Stay inna yuh lane cornball!

@@raggamuffindads Natty, easy on the brother. I overstand the I...the quotation marks has been well noted. But it's not everyone read like that. P. Brown could also express his/herself better. But I am sure most ones overstand the I message. Just love to the brethren them! RASpect!
