LONDON — Olympic 100-meter champion Justin Gatlin, a former Tennessee All-American, will have his appeal of a four-year doping ban heard next month by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The hearing will take place May 28-29. CAS, which is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, did not say where the hearing will be held.
The former Tennessee track star filed the appeal with sport’s highest court Feb. 28, seeking to void the first of his two doping violations so he can compete at this year’s Beijing Olympics.
The hearing will be early enough to potentially allow Gatlin to race at the U.S. Olympic trials June 27-July 6 in Eugene, Ore.
Gatlin has maintained that he never knowingly took a performance-enhancing drug.
