Maurice Greene has some serious explaining to do. This isn't just someone alleging that they gave him steroids. This is someone claiming he has evidence and someone who apparently has actually presented this evidence to the New York Times, who initially broke the story.

  • Countdown to the Beijing Olympics
  • The Greatest British Olympians
  • Maurice and I had our words back and forth during our careers and I didn't have the respect for him as a person that I had for him as an athlete.

    But I measure athletic greatness based heavily on consistency and longevity, which Maurice achieved in one of the most difficult events to achieve consistency and longevity in. And I always had respect for him for that.

    It would obviously be another huge blow for the sport if another prominent athlete, even a retired one, also went down for drugs after the Marion Jones and Justin Gatlin situations over the last couple of years.

    But as a fan of the sport and one who is disappointed every time I see a story like this continuing to damage it, I want to see that justice is served.
