The Carl Lewis camp today hit back over allegations that the Olympic sprinter is a drugs cheat.
Lewis' manager Joe Douglas protested the American star's innocence amid claims that he failed an anti-doping test during the US trials in the run-up to the 1988 games in Seoul and was initially told that he would not be allowed to compete.
"It's not true," Douglas told BBC radio. "He's not shamed, none of us are disgraced.
"To begin with, he didn't even know what was in the supplement bottle. We gave them the bottle - in fact, their doctor took the medicine and had the same results on the urine test that Carl did, and it was such a small amount that it was not considered to be positive.
"It wasn't on the label of the bottle. There was nothing to indicate there were any stimulants found in the vitamins.
"It's a mistake and it was not illegal because there wasn't enough stimulant to be called illegal, and that was the rules at the time."
