Does anyone know what became of him? I seem to vaugley remember him, while I was in HS.
If my memory serves me correctly, he used to hold the National HS discus record and well as the NCAA discus record.
I believe in 1992 he won the Olympic trials with a throw of 236-9. That would have been the best in the world by about ten feet and the second best in US history.
Now here is what I am not sure about. I seem to recall him failing a drug test and being put on probation for two years. He had to get tested several times a year at an IOC approved clinic.
He was finally suspended for testing at UNLV. As it was an IOC sanctioned lab, he felt he was in the right, but the IOC ruled the test invalid.
