Justin Gatlin is still the world’s fastest man — when Usain Bolt is not in the field.
Gatlin won the Prefontaine Classic 100m in a wind-aided 9.88 seconds in Eugene, Ore., on Saturday. He beat a field that included two of the other five fastest men of all time — Asafa Powell (9.94) and Tyson Gay (9.98).
Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic 100m champion who served a four-year doping ban from 2006 to 2010, moved to 32-2 in individual sprints since the start of 2014.
The only two losses were in the only two races that also included Usain Bolt — the 100m and 200m at the 2015 World Championships.
