US sprinter Justin Gatlin clocked 10.17 seconds on Sunday to win his second consecutive 100 meters final since coming back from a four-year doping ban.
Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic 100 meters champion, was running at the Ergo World challenge meeting in Tallinn as he works towards the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Before August 3, when he also ran in Estonia, he had not raced competitively since June 2006 after being banned because of a positive test for the male sex hormone testosterone and its precursors.
Gatlin bettered his final time from the August 3 meeting where he ran 10.24 seconds. His personal best is 9.85. Fellow American Rubin Williams was second on Sunday in 10.25.
"My start is still a little off but obviously my finish is there," Gatlin said.
"I am able to surge and finish good, so once I get my start down better...
"I have some little muscle aches here and there and will go home and rehab a little, but obviously I can show everybody my times can come down by each race."
The 28-year-old American regained his eligibility to compete in July.
