Tokyo Olympics: Gatlin eyes gold medal at 39

Date:

Former Olympic and world 100m champion Justin Gatlin says he can win gold at the Olympics despite being 39 when the postponed Games take place.
The Olympics, due to begin in July, were postponed this week because of the coronavirus pandemic.
American Gatlin, 38, won gold at Athens 2004 and the world title in London in 2017 after a second doping ban.
The Games will be staged “no later than summer 2021”, according to the International Olympic Committee.
Gatlin served a four-year between 2006 and 2010 after testing positive for testosterone, his second doping offence after a year’s suspension for using a banned amphetamine in 2001.
