message: Where does this value come from? You can't reasonably measure a man's height with that accuracy... If somebody "calculated" it from the measurement in feet/inches, I suggest rounding to three digits...
185.42 is the exact measurement in cm of 6'1, which is what Gatlin was listed as. According to his combine results however he is in reality 5'11 7/8, ie. about 3mm under 6'. Just shows that these athletes boost their heights. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.193.181.130 (talk) 10:59, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this is old, but while we should use listed heights when they are the only piece of information available, Justin was actually measured by the NFL during his suspension when he was playing around with potentially trying out for a team.  In this case, the 6'1" is usual thing where an athlete supplies an inch or two to his height.  Since he's measured at just below 6'0", it'd probably better to list him at 6'0" since we have an actual measurement (http://speedendurance.com/2008/04/04/justin-gatlin-442-40-yard-dash/). --Criticalthinker (talk) 14:07, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Bringing this back up since it's been changed again. We have an actual measured height for him, which is kind of rare for this sport (https://speedendurance.com/2008/04/04/justin-gatlin-442-40-yard-dash/). He was measured at 5'11 and 7/8ths. I wouldn't say to put that specific figure, but what's clear is that he should be listed at his actual height instead of his sports/reported one. --Criticalthinker (talk) 07:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

message: I'm sure there's some reason for this, but I think this article needs to clarify his agreement on an eight year ban, and now just recently it have been announced that he has received a four year ban. I've checked sources on this recent announcement and they indeed talk of a four year ban. So I wonder about the discrepency, and think the article needs to explain that.—Northgrove 19:24, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

message: A user doesn't let 'two-time doper' in the article even though it appears in reliable sources (see BBC, The Independent, Politico etc.). I know this is highly sensitive per WP:BLP but reliable sources are pretty convincing in this case, so there's no reason to pardon him for his behaviour in the past. Also, the paragraph  would benefit from an introductory sentence indicating that he's a two-time doper before moving to the two cases for which he was banned.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 12:50, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
