Most American distance runners are quite a bit cleaner by comparison to the other aforementioned countries (pointing to current distance hotbeds: Hansons, USA Calif., the assorted Boulder Crew, The Nike Farm Team, Indiana Invaders--all clean). Deena Drossin is a pretty good friend of mine and there's no way in hell she's dirty so don't start that rumor shit here. Coach Vigil wouldn't have anything to do with her if she weren't clean or any other dirty athlete--his word is bond on that issue. Jacobs...I dunno but let's not beat this chick to death again.
Bob Kennedy I had my doubts about, but he never got busted anywhere. I trained with his Indiana teammate Spencer Casey for 3-4 years here in Boulder, and he swears adamantly BK was practically a choirboy he was such a straight-arrow--wouldn't even drink. Spence would give me the straight scoop. So IMHO the rumors about BK haven't got much salt to them either. As for Marion/CJ/Flojo and that U.S. sprint crew, don't get me started. That's a whole other kettle of fish that may need frying.
