KINGSTON: Usain Bolt has warned American sprinter Justin Gatlin not to expect anything easy on his pending return to the track.

Bolt, who dominated both sprints over the last two years, said Gatlin, who is serving a four-year doping ban, might just have something different waiting for him on his return.

Earlier this week, Gatlin, who is expected to be back on the track by July 25, said he is targeting Bolt, Gay and Asafa Powell, the worlds three fastest men, by claiming, times dont scare me.

I think he will find it a bit different from the last time he was here, because the game has stepped up a lot, warned Bolt.

He is going to have his hands full, not just by me, Asafa and Tyson but there are a lot of other upcoming sprinters.but it should be good.

Bolt, who said he welcomes Gatlin back on the track when the time is right, then also said, Its more competition and its better for the sport, so I am looking forward to it.

He further said he would be ready to race Gatlin anywhere as long as he is on the line, as was the situation with Dwain Chambers last year.

Since Gatlins absence from the track, Bolt has dominated with electrifying runs, first at the Beijing Olympics with times of 9.69 and 19.30, then he lowered those world record marks to 9.58 and 19.19 respectively at last summers World Championships in Berlin.

JUSTIN GATLIN RETURNS LATER THIS YEAR...
