And the beat goes on. C.J. Hunter of the United States, tested positive four times recently. That he is married to America's top woman track star, Marion Jones, adds to the frenzy. A technician at the Olympic drug laboratory in Sydney checks a specimen last month. Five athletes medals were taken back after they tested positive for banned drugs.
Athletes always deny, deny, deny.
Hunter is no exception. His explanation is that he wouldn't do anything like this because track and field doesn't mean that much to him. If you have a bad ride, they say you used to be doped. About this same time, it was announced that a Czech cyclist, Jan Hruska, tested positive and would not be permitted to compete here. But there are so many cultures, so many agendas.
