Usain Bolt: I have no issues with Justin Gatlin

Usain Bolt said he has no issues with top rival Justin Gatlin on Friday, ahead of potential Jamaica-U.S. duels at the IAAF World Relays in the Bahamas (Universal Sports, UniversalSports.com, Friday and Saturday, 7 p.m. ET).

Bolt said last year he was in favor of banning athletes who cheat on purpose for life and has spoken against former top rival Tyson Gay receiving a reduced, one-year ban after he tested positive multiple times in 2013.

Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic 100m champion, is five years removed from a four-year doping ban but has denied knowingly taking performance-enhancing drugs.
