Wow. Never knew he was a former Vol.

Congrats to him.

 

[LEATHERHEAD VOL]

Wow,9.94 at100m is just flat out flying.

Gatlin is a 30 for 30 story waiting to happen. I would like to see the story of how he dealt with the ban and his comeback. After his ban,to make it back to the top 9 years after winning Olympic gold,for a sprinter is pretty impressive!... Congrats to the former VOL...GBO,VFL

PEDs?

Not even close to his personal best, IIRC

 

[derekdoolander]

Pretty sure he never played football at TN.

 

[RichRollin]

PEDs?

For who? For all of them? They all do it, just a matter of who gets caught. Hard for me to believe he has to be on them to run a sub 10 second 100 but the others do it with skill. Just my two cents.

He ran track.

PEDs?

It was doctor prescribed meds for his ADD, but most people don't care to research that. I guess it sounds better to assume it was PED.

Wow. Never knew he was a former Vol.

Congrats to him.

Huh?

 

[madbamahater]

Never played football. Would have been unstoppable return man though.......

 

[volatil]

Wrong. He played, not long, but he played.

I don't. I remember him running track, but not playing football. Not saying he didn't play. Just that I don't remember it.

Bolt is a cocky jerk, him hating us is a bonus in my opinion

Go Gatlin, Go Vols

I think Phil tried to get him to play, but he did not play football at UT.
It was reported that Gatlin planned to serve his four-year ban from the track on a football field. On November 29, 2006 ESPN reported that Gatlin had worked out with the Houston Texans, although, he has little football experience and "has not played football since 10th grade"

Looks like this question has been asked before..

 

[btrotter]

PEDs?

Performance enhancing drugs

One of his track mates played football. Gatlin never put on a football uniform at Tennessee. He ran track! I wish he would have played football......

You must be confused with someone else. Gatlin surely didn't play football.

 

[Hacksaw]

I remember him being on the squad briefly. Can't say that I remember him doing anything in a game, so maybe I'm wrong about that. Maybe I'm mixing him up with Leonard Scott. Sorry for any confusion.

 

[salutethehill]

Can he kick?

I think you're pulling a Roger Clemens and misremembering.
