George:
I am sorry if this will cause controversy but is the Canadian that you are talking about Ben Johnson. The reason I ask is because I remember reading about this coverup by the USOC involving track and field athletes. I remember that Carl Lewis and many others were named but nothing was ever proved or substantiated. I think it appeared as a news story ten years after the fact.
Of course the way the IOC works is if you are not caught after the competition on the spot and clear the test than you are free and can never be declared a drug cheat. Every one knows that thru athletic history that people have gotten away with being drug cheats and passed the IOC tests.
What's sad is this is still going on. I have been following the sad tale of Grimsley and wondering when if ever its going to stop.
