ROME (Reuters) - American sprinter Justin Gatlin won this third successive Rome Golden Gala 100 metres when he clocked 9.75 seconds at the Olympic stadium on Thursday.

Gatlin, 33, has faced a barrage of criticism since clocking a lifetime best of 9.74 seconds at the opening Diamond League event in Doha from sceptics who point out he has served two doping bans.
