BRISBANE: Former swimmer Elka Graham is tarnishing innocent athletes by refusing to disclose more about drug allegations she made in a newspaper column, Australian swimming chief Glenn Tasker said yesterday.
The dual Olympian claimed in a Sunday column that she was offered performance-enhancing drugs by another elite swimmer while training for the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Tasker said that Graham had a responsibility to former team-mates and training partners, both in Australia and the United States.
“Literally anybody who swam with Elka in the years leading up to Athens, she’s cast doubt out there about who is it,” he said. “If she can give us a name then ASADA (Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority) will investigate.” – Reuters
