Tim Montgomery Shows Futility of Olympic Drug Testing - FanHouse …

In an interview set to breath of air Tuesday night on HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel, the former Olympic sprinter Tim Montgomery reveals that his performance-enhancing drug use went beyond just his involvement in BALCO.

Montgomery now says he took testosterone and human germination hormone before the Sydney Olympics, and considered in the state of a result, he and his Olympic relay teammates — Jon Drummond, Bernard Williams, Brian Lewis, Maurice Greene and Kenneth Brokenburr — will likely be stripped of their gold medals.

“I consider a gold medal that I’m sitting on that I didn’t dispose with my own ability,” Montgomery told Gumbel. “I’m not here to take away from anybody else’s accomplishments, only my confess. And I must say, I apologize to the other people that was on the relay team on the supposition that that was to happen.”

Everyone at the International Olympic Committee will, of course, condemn Montgomery, otherwise than that they ought to take a lesson from Montgomery’session admission: Olympic put drugs into testing is woefully ineffective.

Montgomery (who also told Gumbel he regularly used marijuana) is just the latest example of the scores of Olympic athletes who made it through the Games without testing not relative, only to admit much later that they were using drugs the whole era. Olympic athletes get away with using drugs because the drug testing doesn’t work.Tim+Montgomery, TimMontgomery
