Team USA sprinter and the third fastest man in the world Justin Gatlin is itching to go back home and link up with his ''family''.
But according to the ''born again'' clean athlete, it is not just his folks back home in the United States he is thinking about.
In an exclusive interview with TV3 Sports, the sprint bronze medalist at London 2012 says he would love to link up with his half-brother Duke Quashie in Ghana.
''Yea I have to make that trip one day for real. You know I have a half-brother in Ghana called Duke Quashie and I know it's a family affair so Ghana will be on my mind''
Gatlin made the revelation a few moments before the spectacular closing ceremony at the Stratford Olympic Stadium in London.
The 30 year old has no doubts that Africa is the motherland and plans to visit ''the land of Nkrumah'' as soon as his schedule allows him.
Indeed, he has not totally ruled out an Olympic swan song in Brazil yet.
''You know Rio is not too far away and if my body allows me, sure why not, who knows''
