Jamaican Steve Mullings. Banned for life. Was he sabotaged or dirty?

Erm dirty? and a liar? Wrote a book because he's broke?

I dunno really.

That's the easy answer/assumption, but despite your trollism, is legit, however, he is uniquely resolute on this.....

How is cheating and then denying it whilst blaming everyone else unique?

That's the MO for most cheaters. It's actually rare for someone to just admit it.

That is addressed in the interview.

Typically there is a falling off of the denial and the athletes often quietly disappear, unless the media dig up their stories. In this case years later he is still as vociferous about it.

Argue for your limitations and they're yours

Was he sabotaged or dirty?

Can't it be both?

Who said something on the order of: Yes I take PEDS but not the PED they busted me for?

No idea

I thought lifetime bans were outlawed?

Most likely sabotaged. Sounds very plausible based on what those in the know will tell you off the record of how things work with the sprinting training groups sponsored by the major shoe companies.

If only things were that simple

Serial liar....Like all the druggies/cheats..

Maybe.

But he sure has a lot of documentation and his details down, even though it is a really odd, odd sordid story.

You sound like you're a bit closer to Steve Mullings and his story that you're making on.

CK: There seem to be quite a few sprinters that are taking PEDs. How many current Jamaican sprinters do you feel are actually dirty? In comparison how many American sprinters?

SM: There have been a few in the media but as far as how many, I am not sure about that. I can say if an athlete is going to cheat, they will, whether they are from Jamaica or America.

Interesting. In 5 years, he's going to name Bolt.
