 |
|
| Quote: | | Lewis: 'Who cares I failed drug test?' |
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2003/apr/24/athletics.duncanmackay
| Quote: | Carl Lewis has broken his silence on allegations that he was the beneficiary of a drugs cover-up, admitting he had tested positive for banned substances but claiming he was just one of "hundreds" of American athletes who were allowed to escape bans.
"There were hundreds of people getting off," he said. "Everyone was treated the same."
Lewis has now acknowledged that he failed three tests during the 1988 US Olympic trials, which under international rules at the time should have prevented him from competing in the Seoul games two months later. |
