And what has stepping outside his lane got to do with what I posted?

[Jimmy Conway]

How about the fact Carl stepped out of his lane 3 times in the final?

Bullshit. Read up on the case in the 1988 U.S. trials. He failed one test for a stimulant; cold remedy. Inadvertent use. The same stimulants would NOT post a postive test today. Dope testing was in its infancy in1987 and 1988. Almost everything was on the banned list. It has been shown that the ingredients in Lewis' positive test were not all performance enhancing. His caree bears this out. He was a natural, who never made massive improvements, unlike Ben Johnson, who made massive gains
