Carl Lewis failed three doping tests during 1988 US Olympic Trials. He admitted it back in 2003 already. It's common knowledge he was a cheater too.

The admission is a further embarrassment for the United States Olympic Committee, which had initially denied claims that 114 positive tests between 1988 and 2000 were covered up. It will add weight to calls by leading anti-doping officials and top athletes for an independent inquiry into the US's record on drug issues.

 

So IOC should ban USA and IAAF from Olympics

BALCO scandal unearthed the facts that USA is as dirty as East Germany & co. And federal law was immune to Nike & Big Tech money plus Marion Jones lied to the FBI. It was a spectacular collapse in the end. It's no wonder Carl Lewis keeps it relatively low-key these days, he knows he got away with major doping issues and USTF knows that too. It's better to keep him in the basement while Michael Johnson remains the most visible former US athlete out there.

Is he that low key ? Even Michael Johnson is only on British TV.

 

 

Mihambo is working with him which is suspicious as well.

Does US TV - ESPN or whatever - actually show much athletics anyway? These European meetings ain't held in US prime time so Idk if athletics ever gets a big spot on US TV these days?

Johnson doesn’t really do the diamond league anymore for the BBC anyway. He tends to only appear for the Olympics and Worlds now a days. 
 

 

And with BBC cutbacks he might not do the World’s next year as I doubt the BBC will fly all the presenting staff and crew out to Eugene and will he really want to be in Manchester talking about action hosted in America.
