USATF Statement on Gatlin Doping Suspension
August 22, 2006

The following is a statment from USATF CEO Craig Masback regarding USADA's announcement in the Justin Gatlin case.

"Justin Gatlin's doping case has been a setback for our sport. While we are glad Justin has taken responsibility for his positive test and will cooperate in USADA's anti-doping efforts, we are sorely disappointed in him. Our Zero Tolerance program is focused on educating athletes about the importance of winning with integrity. This case is a clear signal that we must redouble our efforts and seek ways to deter drug use and to punish anyone who may influence athletes to use drugs."
