Graham banned

Jamaican Trevor Graham received a lifetime ban from the US Anti-Doping Agency yesterday for his role in helping his athletes obtain performance-enhancing drugs.
Graham has been banned from participating in any events sanctioned by the US Olympic Committee, the IAAF, USA Track and Field or any other group that participates in the World Anti-Doping Agency program.
He was convicted in May, on one count of lying to U.S. government investigators about his relationship to an admitted steroids dealer.
He is still awaiting sentencing and has asked a judge to toss out his conviction.
Graham has been connected with many athletes involved in doping including Marion Jones and former 100-metre world-record holders Justin Gatlin and Tim Montgomery.
