That story about Gwen Jorgensen winning gold in the triathalon for the USA makes me so proud to be American. The fact that she went from being in an office and seven years later the first American gold winner is amazing.
 
The fact it happened twice means I'm less likely to believe he was unaware it was banned. All of the US team doctors would've told him.

He was only caught for that substance once in 2003. He did not test positive for it twice. He was also not on the US team at the time nor is that how US Track and Field works.
 
Gatlin is the worst one. Twice and no doubt in a few years his samples will be retested and found to be doped to the gills.

One of the most damning things about Gatlin was his coach. I say was because that coach has been banned for life from any major T&F events. Why? Because eleven of his athletes (including Gatlin) got popped.
 
The fact it happened twice means I'm less likely to believe he was unaware it was banned. All of the US team doctors would've told him.

The second time he says it was a pissed off physical therapist that put a testosterone cream on him without his knowledge.

Not that I think we should believe everything he said without evidence, but he got popped at a qualifier tournament that meant nothing to him, so it does kind of make think he might have gotten screwed over.

If he got popped at WCs or Olympics, or off season testing, sure, but why the fuck would the defending world champion knowingly use a testosterone cream at the Kansas relays that meant absolutely nothing?
