"ATHLETICS Australia should drop plans to bring world-beating sprinters
Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery to Melbourne this summer because of
their association with drug-tainted coach Charlie Francis, according to
Nic Bideau."

Shoes are staring to drop. Isn't Australia the land that was basically
originally settled by criminals shipped from the continent?

That was a cheap shot if I've ever heard one.  

Merry Christmas to any Aussies on this list.

 Charlie Francis is an exceptionally talented coach. Anyone can see that by
reading his books or even the posts on his website. Regardless of past drug
use - It is simply academic that he is the man that can help Marion improve.
Marion claims she has always been clean and I think that if this is the case
and its stays that way that she will improve under Charlie Francis's
coaching methodology.
 Don't judge the mans expertise without reading the website and his books.

I'd say there's not another coach anywhere in the western
hemisphere with remotely the reputation (deserved or
undeserved) of Francis.

Yet there are several coaches with excellent credentials
for the bio-mechanical analysis that MJ says she's looking
for.  Why pick one with such a bad rap?

If you were in her shoes, wouldn't you want to work with the absolute
best?  When you're chasing some of the toughest records in the sport, a
merely excellent coach may not be enough to get there.

Would that be the same Athletics Australia that tried to hire Eckard (?)
Arbeit as national coach a few years back, only to renege when his DDR ties
were revealed?
