Carl Lewis failed a drug test the year Ben Johnson beat him and got stripped of his medal. The tests were accessed and shown. Carl's excuse was he took it by accident in a medicine or some shit... except for that to be true it would be 5x the regular dosage of it... Carl knew exactly what he was doing and failed that drug test but was allowed to keep the medal and they never told the media about the test.

Thats not exactly admitting he took it intentionally. Not saying he didn't.

You're comparing two different guys in two different arenas.

Plus, are you going to include Coleman's football and powerlifting accomplishments into the picture?

No........he WAS an athlete at one time, but once he started, competed and turned pro in bodybuilding, thats when it ended.

Well he's not going to admit it now because he wasn't the one that was stripped of his medal. People would just look down on it, most of the population wouldn't know.

BTW, Bolt is the better athlete. But how can you not consider Ronnie a great athlete? IMO, Ronnie is just as much of an athlete as a powerlifter or an oly lifter.

I don't consider powerlifting an athletic sport, unless you take strongman comps in that catagory. I do however consider olympic lifting an athletic sport (thats why they have it i the olympics instead of powerlifting).
