The amazing confession from Carl Lewis won't be that he was doping - he was, everyone knew it, and he was smart enought to use state-of-the-art drugs that didn't have tests at the time - but that he's gay. THAT will shock the world and is just as true as the drug issue.

Ben Johnson, by the way, got caught using a drug that had, at the time of his "incident", a test available for 10+ years. Really, in the 80's and 90's it was the stupid sprinters that got caught.

And host, as a close follower of track and field, I didn't "drive-by" your post. I actually read it. You just chose to respond take one sentence in the NYT article and post about it. I'll discuss politics in the appropriate place, but don't try to derail one of the few places that I actually get to talk about track here. All you "proved" was that you and the reporter want to grind the same axe.
