Gatlin says Bolt could be tempted to reverse retirement plans

American sprinter Justin Gatlin believes his biggest rival Usain bolt could be tempted to reverse his decision to retire from athletics after next month's World Championships.

Bolt, who has won eight Olympic and 11 World Championship gold medals, is planning to quit the track after competing in the 100m and 4x100m relay at the global event in London.

However, Gatlin who was beaten by Bolt in the last two World Championship 100m and 200m finals and at last year's Olympics in Rio, believes the 30-year-old Jamaican could one day find a return impossible to resist.
