Justin Gatlin to compete in 200m in Eugene

American sprinter Justin Gatlin will feature in the 200m at the Diamond League meeting in Eugene on May 30.

Gatlin, who has served two doping bans, hit the headlines last week when setting a new personal best of 9.74 seconds in the 100m in Doha.

Despite controversy surrounding his non-appearance in Beijing this week, it has been revealed that the 33-year-old will take to the track in Eugene to mark his first appearance at the longer distance this season.

Gatlin is scheduled to go up against Nickel Ashmeade and Alonso Edward at the Oregon event.
