Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic 100m champion who was suspended for four years after testing positive for testosterone just three months after equalling the world 100m record in 2006, misjudged his lunge for the line and was edged out by Bailey (10.05sec).

Gatlin clocked 10.08sec with Trinidad's Keston Bledman in third at 0.01sec, American Darvis Patton in fourth and reigning Olympic silver medallist Richard Thompson, in fifth.
