( CNN ) -- Justin Gatlin made it three wins from three races sinces his return to competitive athletics with victory in a 100 meters race in Tallinn , Estonia , on Sunday . The 2004 Olympic champion , who is returning to action after a four-year ban for failing a drugs test , clocked a time of 10.17 seconds -- running into a headwind -- to beat fellow-American Rubin Williams . The 28-year-old Gatlin , who won two races at a meeting in Rakvere , Estonia , on Tuesday , is having to compete at smaller venues because he is still banned from some of the larger meetings . `` I am very glad with the result . My aim was to be better than at the last competition and I bettered that today by seven hundreths of a second , '' he told the AFP news agency . `` I am dedicating myself fully to sport now and plan to return stronger next season , '' Gatlin added . Despite the run , Gatlin has admitted he still has some way to go before he can rival the likes of Usain Bolt , Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell once again . `` I am taking my return at the moment with a modest aim - the only aim I have in front of me is to be better than last time at every competition , '' he said . Gatlin will next compete in Joensuu , Finland on August 21 and has stated that he plans to return to Estonia for the indoor season .
