This was the first time that Maurice Greene has been on a track telecast
since the Olympics. It was Larry Rawson and I who convinced the producer that
it was journalistically correct to address the issue, let Maurice say his
piece, and be done with it forever. There was nothing "lazy" about the
interview. The same was true with James Carter's situation in an earlier
broadcast.
