Justin Gatlin equals personal best in 200m at Diamond League meeting in Oregon

American sprinter Justin Gatlin equalled his personal best time in the 200m at the Diamond League meeting in Eugene, Oregon at the weekend.

The 33-year-old, who sparks regular controversy due to his two previous bans for doping, clocked a time of 19.68 seconds, which he first reached last July in Monaco.

Gatlin has the quickest time of the year so far in the 100m after completing the distance in 9.74 seconds earlier this month.

Meanwhile, at the same event, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Murielle Ahoure both claimed the fastest women's 100m time of the season by clocking 10.81 seconds.
