it broke my heart when I heard the boo's. I'm not even a big J Gatlin fan but I respect him for his mental toughness in a situation like this. Even if u don't like someone, discouraging them with your actions or pushing them down in any way is totally unnecessary and just reflects bad character
Gatlin has insufficient "mental toughness." That's why he used drugs
Glen Small he used drugs because he had to. Everyone else was using drugs but they didn’t get caught
No. He Chose to use drugs. It was an immoral, unethical and illegal Choice. You have no evidence to support your claim That "everyone else was using drugs." That is opinion, not fact. Stick to the facts. Gatlin cheats
Glen Small Oh trust me...everyone else was using them as well. If you think Bolt was clean you’re the most ignorant person who follows the sport.
@@sharkkeeper01 and just how was he not clean give the facts up....years of practice like bolt had can go a long way
For the first time, really? After the IAAF sabotaged his written apology years ago 😑
Hi Gatlin as a Jamaican I think u r a great runner, u never given n that’s what I admire the most about u n not to mention ur discipline to always be competitive n better. Hate r love u r a legend of track n field.
1:10 "But is the sport okay with these people who had bans winning?" That really hit me. When an athlete is allowed back into the sport after a ban, that means the sport must fully accept it when they win. If not, why let them back into the sport in the first place? Or the sport has to give out permanent bans to avoid such an event from ever happening.
The “sport” is NOT the problem - stupid spectators (like the ones in London after Gatlin’s victory) are the problem.
He got busted twice for steroids. He deserves the boos
You shouldve been banned for life
Everybody deserves a second Chance ...
In his case, he get dopped 2 times. So, Gatlin needed a third chance
Angel Cuenca If you were not given another chance after you did wrong ... where would you be now?
I agree but if you are an high competition athlete, you get dopped with steroids for the first time, you received a second chande after a long period; then you get dopped with steroids for the second time, you received a THIRD CHANCE; then, when do you stop giving another chance?? It`s a liar. Two times made tricks (at least).
Mini Skirt Go wash your stinkin lady swamp
Grace Aziken he's being tested again so...... idk
He deserves respect for that long persistence.
Know he doesn’t he is a drugo and always will be
He said I'll never dope after getting caught once then dopped again the temptation to dope is so high you'll get caught say sorry and do it again just like gatlin to win
Indeed. He was up there for a treble...but never got caught a third time...what a pity...:(
Hi, I’m from Japan and congratulations on your winning world championships it was so great run! You’ve been defeated by Bolt for last several years so it was so great to see your victory. Sorry for not good sentences.
Everybody does deserves a second chance in Life. Facing yourself and being truthful. You do need to forgive yourself and ask for forgiveness. Being booed by fans because they were also let down.
Third chance*
He got caught twice lol!
Whats next? Ted Bundy gets a second chance? Lol.
@@mokushmasmo6009 people think that just because someone apologize after getting caught there not bad and deserve a second or even third chance.
He may have been sabotaged as he claims
In this case, it's not a 2nd chance, it is his 3rd chance.
The first time, it was an ADD medication, because Gatlin has ADD. Given that you don't know that ADD/ADHD medications are banned, you shouldn't be blaming others for not knowing that Attention Deficit medications are banned. Also, Adderall is still detectable long after effects have worn off.
I think to some extent the British Press is reprehensible for the Boos Gatlin received from the crowd after winning the men's 100m final at the 2017 World Championships. They painted a bad image of him.
Watching this interview all over again, u touch my heart in ur sincerity 4 asking apology. Goodluck in ur career as coach, Godbless u!
Hold ur head up high.You deserve everything that you got.Your biggest fan from Antigua
So many naive people supporting a liar and a repeat cheat
he motivated me to much after a long time from 2004 to 2017 he won a race again
No matter what he has done, you have to respect for the man for his longetivetivity.
what longevity? being off the track for probably 4 years or more.....sure
1:42 no you came to beat Usain bolt
Both
But this never happened until 2017. Bolt was about to retire
@@atharvakshirsagar8461 he beat bolt before 20 17
A very tough athlete. As much as we hate cheating he's served his time and come back. Big respect and love for the guy. Somehow I've always loved him. Keep fighting big bro
He did not really cheat btw.
It's unfortunate how they keep demonizing a man that just minds his business
There's been other athlete's that have done worse from different origins. Keep your head up. Just keep winning! Now you know why you need to be greater.
Is this another "bash Justin because he screwed up in the past"?
Get over it.
I don’t recall Dwaine Chambers being booed like JG when he came back after a drugs ban.
David Coggon My point exactly! Especially when he competed in the 100m in the London Olympics!
Well Chambers is not as "iconic", nor as successful as Gatlin to be sure. And as a Brit he certainly didn't have the US media machine behind him to iconize him in pop culture.
Well because he never came back to his previous success. Also the BOC fought hard to ban him from the British team for life. So you can’t say that Britain doesn’t hold it’s athletes to the same standards are it holds those from other countries as Chambers had to take the BOC to court to come back.
1. Dwain immediately admitted guilt, whereas Gatlin did not.
2. Dwain was forbidden to compete on the Diamond League circuit
3. It was clear that Dwain returned clean, as he never broke 10 seconds again. Gatlin on the other hand has been running FASTER than when he was caught which raises a lot of suspicion.
T & F archive You have a point. I wasn’t having a dig at Dwain, just pointing it out. Neither runners should have been booed....if you’ve done your time you should be allowed to compete without all the childish boos.
He deserves a second chance. I'm proud of him
Kyle Martinez third actually
Kyle Martinez Second chance, he was busted twice.
SHADOWNINE79 second chance... the first time he got busted wasn't even for steroids.. it was for adderall which he took since his childhood
Then you have a weak moral/ethical code. A cheat is a cheat is a cheat. you are not an athlete
No he does not. Cheating. Caught twice. He is not trustworthy.
Gatlin a real one
My favorite sprinter of all time. . . Respect
Well your dum usain is the best he is a drug taker and you respect that descusting
Alexandra Llewellyn why tf do you care. If he like Gatlin that’s good for him
I think you are awesome Justin. You are classy and intelligent, and I believe you have shown humility regarding the mistake that was made years ago. I believe you represent the USA with integrity. You are a great athlete and you are the pride of USA men. Forget the haters. God knows who you are!
Where is your evidence to support this uninformed opinion?
Glen Small you don’t need to supply evidence for an opinion
You're a great contender Gatlin and keep giving your best and I hope the world can forgive you for making the mistakes you've made because everybody makes them everyday.
Unethical is unethical. No leeway here
Gatlin is a a cynical cheat
I like how everyone who is calling him a cheat are probably obese, and sitting on their couch eating Cheetos.
@@glensmall9194 ye coz u can definitely get to this level clean...
he beats bolt but didn’t get to enjoy it
And he doesn’t deserve to either. Cheaters should never prosper. Bolt is a legend. Gatlin is a bum.
Surinder Singh As if you’ve never made a mistake in your life. We have to forgive others.
@@mosestheredsea I have. But I tend to LEARN from my mistakes, not repeat them for the whole world to see again. This bum got caught using performance enhancing drugs TWICE. He should never have been allowed back into the sport to taint it. He will never earn any respect for any of his medals because, who is meant to trust him?
Surinder Singh people can change. We have to be willing to forgive them. But he was taking Amphetamine and another drug which was given to him because of his ADHD .
@@surindersingh724 Also, to add onto what MosesTheRedSea said, Justin Gatlin has ADHD. People like you are the people I dislike. You hear a story and instantly bandwagon in the favor of accusing that person. First off, the first time Justin Gatlin took adderall which is a medication for A.D.D/A.D.H.D “attention deficit disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactive disorder” and guess what. That “drug” wasn’t illegal. And it wasn’t even on the ban. Some people can’t go without using that medication. I have A.D.D. So I can understand how he might feel for getting banned for a Medication drug. And the second time he was sabotaged. So. What do you have to say to that? Bandwagonder.
i feel for him
Hes been a victim of the sport and the media who betrayed him as a bad sportsman which he deserved but hes proving himself 2nd time round to be clean and at his age Hes supposedly meant to retire lol
He don’t deserve that!
From dope to hope
wooow
😂
I wish time travel was possible
_+_ I love Justin
tankura Well you must love taking steroids then is you
Why the bad comments give ppl a chance over one makes bad choices we are all human
I respect this man more
Justin Gatling is a great athlete people shouldn’t judge him for his past because if you were in his position winning the 100m and being booed after all the hard work that you’ve put into being able to do that how would it make you feel yet Gatlin has had the mental ability to cope with that
Go on Justin...nuff respect from a born jamaican...be in it to win it
Tyson gay ain't trying to do all dat😂...but he was way more obvious than Gutlin
I love him.... No matter what
Same here lovely sister
Fans have a serious capacity to fool themselves to think that their beloved Usain Bolt wasn't juicing. Lance Armstrong always tested negative for steroids, remember that. Follow the money and you always find the answer. I happen to like Usain & his persona, but as a former sprinter, it was made very clear to me that in order to become world class, I had to take steroids. There was no way around it! Hmmmm?
when EVERYBODY cheats, cheating is not cheating anymore ;)
BreuckelensFinest Thank you...finally someone who gets it!!!
BreuckelensFinest
Keep lying to yourself.
The only sprinting you've done is at 3am when the cops show up at your house.
So you are saying Usain Bolt and his team somehow has a "magic potion" that no other athlete has and is undetectable by all the sophisticated testing done by IAAF administrators? WOW!!!!
@@jamdownyouth6198 if Bolt doped he would still be racing...Bolt tried to run az he got older but his body could not respond. He acceptex the fact and retired. Justin Gatlin and Tom Brady will be competing until each is 55 years old..
Wow, that was so sincere. LOL. What a joke. Just another steroid cheat....
What make him great is he came back and dominated after the suspension which 99.5 percent never had to do. And I think he was the villain bcuz he was viewed as bolt biggest competition. Everybody loved bolt
Oh how you know he wasn't on drugs then
I don't get it
2006 tested positive and I was disappointed in him
2010 I would understand if he got boed but 2017 he start to get boed
So why would they skip from 2012 - 2015
I Respect Gatlin. but Usain Bolt Is the Best
Once a drug user..............
...always a drug user.
Stick dope everyday......
He’s a legend of the sport for his age.
But he would of been a greater legend if he didn’t.
He wouldn't have been known at all if he didn't dope. He would never have got to this level
I accept your apology
when EVERYBODY cheats, cheating is not cheating anymore ;)
Humane that u are.., it's what makes u loved by us who supports u('am a fan) secondly ur so handsome ahaha.., love u man!
People are hard on Justin cause he was the American starboy of the Sydney Olympics. He was just not a mere athlete.
People who say I'm not a bad guy, usually are
Whatever anyone says about Justin, he's blazing fast, and he seems like a genuinely nice guy.
You're a champ Gatlin, from one VFL to another.
Nice and honest, nice everyone should be forgiven, honest if you did win a race half of the people will think it's due to more steroids
Its a takes a big man to apologise. i always support justin.
I always liked the guy and fully respected him despite his doping history. Definitly an individual you can look up to. What a guy!!
All the dudes he was running against were doping
I think Justin has class to take the boos and come back and be one of the greatest runners of all time.
Gatlin comes across ok in this interview. But the bottom line here is hes been exposed as a doper not once but twice. Any athlete caught the second time been on drugs should be kicked out of the sport never mind allowed to still compete for their nation at major championships.
What do you expect if you take drugs as a Professional Athlete?
At the premiere collegiate level and above, virtually all have for decades across the world. A dude who stopped his Equipoise cycle 6 weeks ago beats a dude who quit his test+Epo cycle around the same time. Or vice versa. I'll bet at least 10% of world class sprinters have a script for the wakefullness drug Modafinil or similar variants, due to a "narcolepsy" diagnosis. It won't help you run faster, but it likely helps you get out of the blocks just a bit faster.
I have nothing against Bolt but Gatlin was and will always be my greatest athlete
when EVERYBODY cheats, cheating is not cheating anymore ;)
I'm not you. But love to do good and I'm not a mental patient or psycho or copy cat.
❤️
I absolutely hate him. So happy when everyone booed him he deserves all the hate. A cheater always
Justin you’re a great inspiration to anyone to keep persevering, keep your head up.
He is definitely poor on sportsmanship. He is very arrogant and never really given credit to his competitors
You speak like you don't know who Gatlin is. Go and look at what he said when he beat Bolt.
@@abdallahariff4541 bolt gave him that race
@@unknownv9887 If that's what you think, then sure. Keep on believing it.
unknown v that speaks very poorly of Bolt if that’s the case, so you’re just on a trashing spree at this point.🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Just because you judge him doesn't mean the same..He's actually not done anything considered arrogant in the field.. He always gave respect and credit to his rivals when due, he even shook hands with Usain Bolt.. You're talking like you don't know him.
I love justin!
Should be a life time ban
Sorry , but if you Booed this man after that race ....you're a Bully.
I'm a huge Track fan , love my Country's sprinters Degrasse and Brown and like everyone else.... Loved watching Bolt dominate for a decade. But when Gatlin finally won the Big One , against the GOAT in Track and the "fans" couldn't even give him the respect to applaud, or even just sit quietly instead of Booing like D-Bags , broke my heart for the guy and his family in the stands. Smh ... it was cringey af and ignorant. I'm glad Bolt himself told Gatlin that he didn't deserve that.
“It makes me sad” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Drugs cheat same as Ben Johnson
cheater, thats all he is.
I think you did the United States proud. Mistake are made to some off the best. I was so proud that you stopped bolt from his record. The booing was more about bolt not winning. Just a moment in time and you as the best that day.
Tne americans madesure Ben was banned for life u got caught twice
He comes across as very arrogant in some of his interviews especially when asked about his doping violation. Well guess what if you dont want to be questioned about doping then dont do drugs simple. That is why many despise him its not just the Doping alone
那是Usain Bolt沒有發揮完全實力,只跑9秒94就拿到第一了
Did you ever inject?
i salut him for apologising
dab
Ikeaman6 the dab
IS DEAD.
Gutterlin
You have nothing to apologize for Justin, those were fake drugs for add, you worked hard and beat bolt who faked in his last race, you're the true GOAT, the haters need to die
Lockon Stratos okay so he beats bolt once and you call him GOAT? Cmon be serious
Fake drugs... really?!?! And is Gatlin the GOAT now. Usain Bolt has the record. If u don't know GOAT means greatest of all time and Usain Bolt has run time Gatlin couldn't run in his prime
Show us your evidence, not your uninformed, stupid opinion.
Shut up idiot has gatlin won 3 gold medals at 3 different Olympics no he hasn't bolt's the greatest sprinter ever so sit down gatlin fanboy who also supports cheats
Jay Patil Neither could Bolt without help. Let’s not play dumb or ignorant here. You know the truth.
American job!
"He’s injured, gets a medical pass, that’s what his country does. Our country doesn’t do that”. These are Justin Gatlin’s words at the agency press American Press about the possibility of Usain Bolt to compete in the Olympic Games:
First
Its american? all right, we forgive you.
He doesn't belong in a stadium - some countries shamelessly submit junkies onto the world's stage
The audacity of this i..ot. It always leave me speechless.
Hey, newsflash there mate...maybe your parents shouldn't have raised a cheater. In this case they wouldnt have had to go through this.
two positive tests, two convictions. This guy should have been banned for life. Who knows what health problems he may suffer in later life? And all self inflicted. These are not the acts of a balanced pscyche.
Gatlin is weak. That is all.
"I don't do badboy things" «two-time drug cheat»
gatlin > bolt
Emmanuel Duntoye funny
Because he is chemically enhanced?
Yes
@FAT cat You clearly don't know what drugs do. Taking drugs is not going to make you superman in a second, it requires insane amounts of hard training to make use of it. There are a lot of people taking all kind of drugs but will never even make it to the world championships. Bolt could very well be clean, he has a different body compared to the casual sprinter and is also very very gifted (genetically). However he could very well also have taken something.
@Floofy shibe Athletes get tested all the time and since Usain Bolt is the fastest man he's been tested 100's of times and has never shown signs of using drugs, which means he's clean so his achievements came from hard work
Apology not accepted
Speak for yourself
