I feel pretty sorry for anybody who chose to make a career out of athletics/cycling. The shadow that drugs has cast over the validity of records and victories has become too much for me now. Myself and my brothers have always had a huge interest in track athletics, but I have now lost all interest. Are Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay clean? How about Wariner? With doubt being placed over Maurice green, only two 100m olympic champions in the last twenty years have may have been clean.... Carl Lewis and Donovan Bailey. As for the womens sprint events, that appears to be as bad with Marion Jones, Kelly White.
 
Carl Lewis tested positive for drugs, but was later cleared. I use to love athletics when i was younger, but the sport is so corrupt that it is pointless to follow it anymore- especially power events.

the levels found in Carl Lewis would not even cause a failed test by todays standards, hence I left him on there, but yes there was some suspicion.
