Wrong. People have been saying that for years. The difference this time is that somebody left a syringe full of the stuff laying around somewhere. Coaches are just as scared of libel suits as people claim to be on this list. Make an accusation against a competitor athlete or coach without evidence and you get accused of 'having a vendetta against your competitors'. Isn't that exactly the reaction of that Northern California lab guy this week in his e-mail that he sent out to the news media? If somebody hadn't got 'careless' it would be only a rumor for years. Makes you wonder what else is out there that nobody has gotten careless with yet. The funniest thing of all is USOC 'taking USATF' to task for all this. Classic deflection strategy.... If there have been guilty parties as far as American governing bodies over the last three decades, 90% of them have got their paychecks from USOC. Ask Robert Veck or Wade Exum whether they should be looking at USATF or looking in a mirror. RT
