U.S. sprinter Justin Gatlin said “all is fine” with organizers of a Beijing track meet, after he previously said he was “kicked out” of the meet.
“Emotional day. All is fine with Beijing Org & I We have great relationship and look forward to being there in Aug “Worlds” & next year meet,” was tweeted from Gatlin’s private Twitter account late Monday night Eastern time.
Earlier Monday, Gatlin’s agent said the 2004 Olympic champion, five years removed from a four-year doping ban, was shut out of the meet because organizers thought Gatlin was injured, according to Reuters.
