LONDON : Justin Gatlin pulled out of the London Grand Prix meet on Friday, postponing his 100-metre showdown with co-World record holder Asafa Powell. The American sprinter cited a leg injury for his decision to withdraw from the July 28 meet at Crystal Palace. The Olympic and World champion also pulled out of last week's Grand Prix meet in Lausanne, Switzerland, and will be sidelined until August, London organizers said. ``Justin's injury is more serious than first realised,'' Fast Track spokesman Steve Chisholm said. The London meet had been lined up as the first race between Gatlin and Powell in a year. Gatlin equalled the Jamaican's World record time of 9.77 seconds at the Qatar Grand Prix in May. Powell tied the mark again in Gateshead, England, on June 4. AP
