MONTE CARLO, Monaco, May 17 (UPI) -- The world's track and field governing body in Monte Carlo, Monaco, has ruled Justin Gatlin's May 12, 100-meter run didn't set a world record but only tied it.
Gatlin's original recorded sprint time at the Super Grand Prix Meeting in Doha, Qatar, was listed as 9.76 seconds.

The International Association of Athletics Federation announced Wednesday Gatlin's time was actually 9.766 and accidentally rounded down instead of up.
Gatlin now shares the 100-meter world record of 9.77, set by Jamaican Asafa Powell in 2005.
