PENSACOLA, Florida: Olympic 100m champion Justin Gatlin began another challenge on Monday against a doping ban in the hope of competing in this week's American trials for the Beijing Games.
A US federal court in Gatlin's hometown of Pensacola, Florida, held a one-day hearing on a request for a preliminary injunction that would allow the 26-year-old Gatlin to take part in the trials in Eugene, Oregon.
The track meeting begins on Friday with the first two rounds of the 100m scheduled for Saturday.
