Carl has been known to mouth off a lot over the years but it's hard to argue with the logic of either one of these articles.
The first article is on the current state of the long jump which Lewis says is 'pathetic.'

"The long jump is the worst event in the world right now. Awful," Lewis said.
"Jesse Owens would have been third in the last Olympics. His personal best from 80 years ago would have been good enough to get him a medal in London."
The 2nd is on Seb Coe. Lewis has a very interesting proposal.

“I think Seb Coe is smart enough, he’s a great guy who can do this,†Lewis said Tuesday. “But at the end of the day, when you’re talking about drugs and issues like this, you’re talking about credibility. If he was willing to step aside, and let someone independent come in and really clean this up, he’d be the perfect guy to come back in and run it.â€
