PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - A federal judge now says sprinter Justin
Gatlin cannot compete in this weekend's U.S. Olympic track and
field trials. The decision reversed his earlier order that allowed
Gatlin to run.
Judge Lacey Collier said Tuesday the court had no authority to
overrule the recent Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling that
upheld a four-year doping ban against the defending Olympic
100-meter champion.
Last week, Collier issued a temporary restraining order that
would have allowed Gatlin to compete.
