There seems to be something big brewing in the athletics world regarding drugs, cover ups, and plain brown paper envelopes full of money changing hands.
It centres round positive drug tests that were covered up, but only if the respective athletics federation and/or the offending athlete coughed up some cash, some of it making it's way to the top man at the IAAF (retired).
It seems to be a very convenient, safe way of making money/keep on earning money (depending on which side of the fence you sit). The offender can keep competing, thereby keeping his/her job and the athletics federation keeps a top athlete on it's books and doesn't get tainted by any doping controversy. Neither side are likely to be found out, because it's in no-one's interest to blab about it.
..until you encounter a doping athlete that won't pay the cash. Oops!
And the walls came crashing down.
