A few other Canadians went down with him. Far as I know, they're the onlypeople ever to have admitted under oath what they did. Sensibly, the IAAF and IOC have not taken to purging people who haven't beenthrough due process, no matter how good the "evidence" presented may have seemed to be. Equally sensibly, the two groups have also placed a statute of limitations on expulsions. gh"   Forget about Ben. Self incrimination strikes me as the best evidence possible and that is what HD has seemed to have provided so once again I ask when will the investigation start?
