Life has been tougher for LaShawn Merritt in recent months but back in 2009 he took the 400m by storm on the way to an emphatic gold.
Merritt is only just returning from a 21-month ban for testing positive for an anabolic steroid yet he should be a major contender come the 2012 Olympics in London.
Back in 2009, the American left his rivals - including compatriot Jeremy Wariner - in his wake, taking the gold with a time of 44.06s.
Here we rewind to that night in Berlin and Merritt reaction to the victory...http://www.morethanthegames.co.uk/athletics/225786-merritt-pays-tribute-coach-after-400m-victory
If Merritt can return to this kind of form, he will be the man to watch in the 400m next summer.
