I can afford a lawyer and have the best people defending me but a lot of people don't make a lot of money and if you're a lower name you might get run over by USADA, i feel you can't put a price on the fact I have to deal with this situation... and the smear of my reputation.

I haven't been careless, i think I can be more mature about it and more diligent about it... Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody has typos.

My message to fans... I'm running clean. I don't really know what else to say, I explained the situation, i don't take any performance-enhancing drugs. I don't take anything legal or illegal. I just work hard with my God-given talent and abilities. And just continue to do that.

Of course, like I see Justin Gatlin all the time, we practise the relay and we talk from time to time. But we never really talk about the race or anything like that even though we are both one of the favorites to win, one of like many, i just try to focus on one person. We are at a world championships. So it is a world class field, anybody can take it. So I am just excited about competing against everybody, not just Justin Gatlin.

It is going to take something pretty quick. It is going to take something fast.

People don't realize how easy it is to miss tests, sometimes you forget to update the app, but it has nothing to do with doping or trying to dodge tests.

My plan was to run in these two meets and then go to world championships but I had to all of a sudden, at the drop of a dime, switch up my schedule.

When you tweak something it just takes a little while to get back to where it was.

Gatlin already has the bye (in the 100) from winning world championships, so I can maybe try to run the 200 in the Diamond League and if I win, I would get the bye.

There are so many guys that they are talking about that may be the 'next one' or may be the next Bolt, that whole conversation is exciting to me and really humbling.

Christian Coleman

I never really set any time goals, i think that puts a limit on yourself. When you set a time and you hit that time, you are kind of satisfied. I never want to have that type of feeling.

Christian Coleman

But I don't want to be the next Bolt, i want to be Christian Coleman and to have people years from now asking who is going to be the next Christian Coleman.

Christian Coleman

Since this is not a championship season, you kind of want to use this (season) as preparation for going into 2019 and 2020.
