Hell Hath No Fury Like a Massage Therapist Scorned

So says Justin Gatlin's coach:

His coach, Trevor Graham, who's been involved with at least a half-dozen athletes who've received drug suspensions, has contended Gatlin tested positive after a vengeful massage therapist used testosterone cream on the runner without his knowledge.

In the meantime, Gatlin has agreed to an 8-year ban from track and field, which basically would mean his career is over. Apparently, he still has the right to argue that the steroids got into his system without his knowledge.

It seems he will also be co-operating with investigators on anti-doping measures. Which is curious--how can he supply information if the steroids got into him without his knowledge?

I guess it should be noted that Gatlin is also forfeiting his World Record, which means we now have only fastest man--Asafa Powell.

Until he gets busted.

Let me get this straight. We're two weeks from the start of the NFL season and someone is writing about track and field? Fuck Gatlin and his coach in the ass. Fuck Asafa Powell in the ass too, but use a condom. You know how the U.S. likes to deny AIDS medicine to the Africans. And they are all bleeders.

Badcock, at times I like the cut of your jib.
