Agree but if he didn't cheat in the first place then there wouldn't be an issue would there?

The worlds greatest runner has been beaten by a cheat.

A life time ban is the only way to stop the cheats, two years is nothing, particularly when you consider the Olympic cycle is four years. An athlete banned for cheating at one games will be allowed back to compete at the next. That's just wrong.

They will always cheat if there is no life ban in place for any drug cheating IAAF need to get in set up ASAP. Watching medal ceremonies at the start of the championships righting wrongs from cheating at previous events says it all.

Guy finishing second to our knowledge is not a cheat so Bolt would have lost anyway.

The UCI covered up Lance Armstrong's cheating for years. The IAAF and various national federations are no different.

Agreed and there would be no argument in that case, he's form hasn't been great anyway but both were beaten by a 2 times cheater.

Unfortunately this is leaving a nasty taste in the mouth to these championships now - Wait for the booing when Gatlin gets his medal.

the world anti doping agency should have the power to ban the athletes of all sports under its jurisdiction, some sports aren't covered has they are not part of the Olympics and I think all sports even darts should be drugs tested.

loving the booing gatlin, it be funny if he got tested and was found to be taking steroids or something. he should have been given a life ban regardless of testifying against those who gave him the drugs.

The Medal Ceremony will be fun

bet everybody will be turning their back to him

Life should mean life that cheating cunt's win makes a mockery of the anti doping agency and procedures and when Baxter got done fore that nasal spray Baxter was honest at the time and put his hands up and said he made a mistake when has Gatlin ever done that?

I hope the IAAF suddenly think "We can't give a gold medal to a cheat" he's never proven that he is clean hope they can strip him of gold and give it to Coleman
