Dr. Wade Exum's report that 19 American medallists were allowed to compete at various Olympic Games from 1988 to 2000 despite having earlier failed drug tests shocked some people in the sporting community but was no surprise to others.
"There is no commitment to stopping the drug problem," said track and field star Carl Lewis in 2000. "People know the sport is dirty, the sport is so driven by records."
Little did Lewis know he would be named in Exum's report.
The five-time Olympic medallist was among the athletes named in more than 30,000 pages of documents released by former U.S. Olympic Committee anti-doping chief to Sports Illustrated and several newspapers in 2003.
I rest my case www.cbc.ca/.../index4.html
"Exum had planned to use the documents in a lawsuit against the U.S.O.C. alleging racial discrimination and wrongful termination, but the case was dismissed in federal court last week because of lack of evidence."
From an article in the NY Times....sounds like someone with an ax to grind! George......Why was this thrown out of court?
