World 100 meters champion Justin Gatlin, is at the centre of a new doping scandal after members of his team allegedly offered to illicitly supply performance‑enhancing drugs.
Gatlin and his team are being investigated by the sports and doping authorities after a Daily Telegraph investigation uncovered how members of his team offered to provide prescriptions in a false name and smuggled the substances to the United States.
Gatlin's agent, Robert Wagner claimed that Gatlin had been taking performance enhancing drugs which the sprinter denied.
Gatlin defeated Usain Bolt at the World Championships 100m final in London earlier this year and has been banned twice for doping, in 2001 and 2006.
