          At the very least he has been recognized as a 'drug coach.' Athletes will think twice about working with him if for nothing more than the stigma that it will create and the potential damage it will do to their marketability (and income).

          i doubt that, if athletes feel like he could make them faster u best believe they will go there.  i bet CF would have no problems finding world class talent.

          I actually think your example proves my point. To the best of my knowledge CF was only banned from coaching canadian athletes so if what you were saying is true there's no reason he wouldn't have had tons of foreign athletes. He has apparently consulted with plenty of athletes since getting busted but none of them will admit to ever having done so. The only big time athletes I'm aware of that have worked openly with CF were Montgomery and Jones and even then they initially denied ever working with him (before it was obvious they were) and Nike forced them to stop working with him because it was bad for their image and Nike's bottom line.

          If you didn't see it already, Graham was indicted on obstruction of justice charges. See HERE.
