I really do hope this is true. I.e. that he definitely hasn't taken drugs. Don't think i could cope with another fallen hero... He seems so genuine, I'm willing to give him benefit of the doubt.

I read in the Telegraph he'd missed two drugs tests running up to 2012. I believe if an athlete misses three they're banned for five years.
I sincerely hope he hasn't taken drugs, I like the guy, but how can he have missed two tests? For one he said he 'didn't hear the door bell'

Apparently athletes miss drug tests all over the place.

Fingers crossed he's speaking the truth - I'm so fed up with all this cheating stuff - I find myself becoming more and more cynical about all sporting events now which takes a lot of the pleasure out of watching it. Back in the day I remember being shocked when I found out that the wrestlers were acting! grin
