Justin Gatlin is an American sprinter. This person tested positive for forbidden drugs in 2006 and served a ban of 4 years. It was defined that he had taken testosterone. Since his 4-year ban is over, this athlete was waiting to be accepted back. But it seems that this sprinter doesn’t know the rules linked with the return to the world of sports. A sportsperson that has served a certain ban because of intake of performance-enhancing products is not accepted back automatically. He\She should admit publicly that it was a great mistake; he\she must apologize “with tears in his\her eyes” that he\she has administrated performance-enhancing preparations
But this sportsperson wants to do things his way. The sprinter announced that he had never taken prohibited products intentionally. this sportsperson claimed that he had tested positive for steroids because a vindictive masseuse had applied a testosterone cream during a massage. In fact this explanation was taken from a Lance Armstrong’s book. Justin Gatlin has not changed the Laurence’s excuse at all in about 5 years.
Since Justin Gatlin didn’t admit administrating steroids publicly, sports writers interviewed him many times. Justin Gatlin was asked whether he was going to admit applying prohibited preparations. Once it has been made clear that the American sprinter had applied forbidden drugs knowingly. It was during an interview made by a reporter of New York Times. Justin Gatlin proclaimed that he would admit taking anabolic steroids intentionally in exchange for a embrace! Could you imagine it? The New York Times reporter told the American sprinter that people would embrace him more, if he admits. Nevertheless, Justin Gatlin remained “invincible”, asking: “If I say it right now, are you gonna give me a hug?”
Since this American sprinter has already the support of the USA Track and Field (USATF), it is supposed that Justin Gatlin will never admit applying forbidden drugs. It is unclear why he has got the support because Jill Greer, the spokesperson for the USATF, says that USATF is not going to support sportspersons that have ever applied steroids knowingly. Such athletes have to be ignored, according to USATF. The case related to Justin Gatlin shows that the affirmation of the spokesperson isn’t respected at all.
