General
NO GAMES
In June 2008 The Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland rejected his appeal for a reduction in his four-year ban for testing positive to a banned male testosterone hormone. Gatlin, whose ban didn't expire until July 2010, had hoped to have it reduced to two years, giving him a chance to defend his 100m title at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. He was finally reinstated on 24 July, 2010. (Fox, 07 Jun 2008; sportsillustrated.cnn.com, 24 Feb 2012)
