The BBC have been accused of being biased against Justin Gatlin after the captivating 100m final in Beijing last Saturday. Ahead of the 200m final today, they brought on Justin Gatlin's agent Renaldo Nehemiah and a fierce and fascinating debate between Renaldo Nememiah and BBC commentator's Steve Cram and Michael Johnson had everyone talking.
Cram in particular is getting a lot of praise online for his response to the accusations:

Credit to BBC for giving Renaldo Nehemiah, Gatlin's agent, the opportunity to air his views. Eloquent response from Steve Cram. #doping
