My stance has always been that there's no place in our sport for drug users. I've always said it's a ban for life if you come up positive. I stand by that. Maurice Greene
We ought to ban hunting, I suggest, if there isn't a purpose other than sport and fun. That should be against the law. It's time now. Cass Sunstein
