Get him Gatlin! I’ve always liked Justin as an athlete. The past is the past…we need guys with balls to step to Bolt and show him that he cant have his own way and gap the field by metres every race. Best of luck to him.
Loren Seagrave - why have i heard this name before?
The thing I’ll never understand in american sports is how one can earn so much money, and be broke the year after…with all the money he got in 2004 2005, I could live comfortably for at least 20 years…
However, good luck to him.
I know its on the verge of banned discussion, but, since track is a professional sport, isn’t an agreement among euromeets for not inviting some athletes a matter of fair job or antitrust in europe?
Antitrust of what? They also don’t want Dwain Chambers from the Uk on the grand prix circuit. Even his 6.42 seconds 60 meters indoors (last year) wasn’t remotely exciting enough for grand prix promoters to start offering him contracts for the summer circuit.
Under his previous situation; and as you put it "being broke the next year its called ATTORNEY FEES.

i dont see how any high level track athlete can succeed with an “NFL combine guru” ive always like gatlin as well but dont see this as a good situation
Seagrave is an NFL combine guru? I guess you must have forgotten about the literally over 4 dozen athletes he has coached to Olympic medals and the 5 NCAA titles he coached while being a head track coach. He’s been one of the most prolific track coaches likely in the world and definitely within the United States.
I saw a report that 78% of NFL players wind up divorced or broke after they exit the league.
As far as earning so much money, and being broke afterwords, a wealthy mentor I knew told me that when people make lots of money they also spend lots of money too (I saw in another article that Gatlin drives a Porsche, he could have bought a Honda)! So what happens is, when the income drops (and it will) they are still spending money to keep up the lifestyle that they are accustomed too and eventually it causes them to run out of money. It’s understandable, it’s only human nature to want to upgrade your lifestyle when you are given more fiat currency to play with.
So the key is, to make, say 100k but live as if you only make 50k. But how many people have the restraint to do that, especially athletes who are aggressive and in these days flashy? Also, I’m sure a lot of athletes get ripped off with shady business/“investment” deals.
Yea He never lost to bolt but that was when he was still a human. Bolt is an alien now. You dont think gay has the balls to step to bolt?You can have all the heart in the world but if you racing a cheetah and your just a gazelle you gonna lose. Some athletes may be scared of bolt but gay and powell arent one of them.
If only powell will run just as hard over the last 50 as he does in the first.
Bolt is still running 6.31 and 6.32 through 60m in his best races. Powell and Gay can run as hard as they want, they just don’t have the engine to do it (yet at least). Even if Powell or Tyson maintained their top speed throughout they couldn’t take Bolt at his peak.
I laugh we people make the above comments (i have no clue as to how you’re living so this may not apply)…The reality is when you make that kind of money you live accordingly. Therefore the Honda and the modest four door home is no longer good enough. Now you need the Porsche and Range Rover and 6 bedroom house on acres of land. Don’t forget you got to by a house for mom and maybe siblings. And of course you need to travel and stay in the best hotels…then you add the lawyer fees. 
So when you think of it like that you can see how easy one can be broke 
Bolt would have been at most 19 years old at the time versus Gatlin 4 or so years older, BIG difference.
Time will tell how he goes and hopefully he can step up, the more competition the better.
That said how many have come back from bans and competed at the same or better level as before over 100-200m? 
I know who Seagrave is, however the article implied that he would not be the only coach training him…“operated locally by NFL Combine guru Derek Touchette”. that is who my statement reffered to
I spoke to Seagrave and hes the only coach training gatlin at this time. Maybe the other guy is Gatlin weightlifting coach…
If you spoke to him, Ask him about Gatlin’s form in present time…
Your question is too general get a little more specific…
ok… Times over 50m or some practice times. Weight lifting and so on… Would be good to know 
Thanx…
I’ll see what I can get, should have some information by Wednesday.
cool, would be great!
