The agent of Justin Gatlin has reiterated that the American sprinter has been harshly treated during the World Athletics Championships.
Gatlin's 28-race unbeaten streak came to an end in the final of the men's 100m on Sunday as he missed out to Usain Bolt by just one hundredth of a second in Beijing.
The 33-year-old has twice been banned for doping during his career, but agent Renaldo Nehemiah believes that he is taking the brunt of the criticism for all drug cheats.
"I don't have any problem with people having an opinion but I do have a problem when individuals inside the IAAF have spoken about their unease in having him come back into the sport," Nehemiah told BBC Sport.
"I also have no problem with the media asking tough questions, but I do have problems when it is not balanced or fair.
"Sixty-six other people have had doping offences, there were four of them in this race. But I understand why Justin Gatlin was being talked about. He has been carrying all the resentment towards him from people who have no idea who is."
Gatlin will take on Bolt once again this afternoon in the men's 200m final at the Bird's Nest Stadium.
