...next to... Maurice Greene. Did you see him? He's the showboater, the character, the real piece of work - and this is an image he works hard at. He's the gum-popping, strutting leader of coach John Smith's Handling Speed Intelligently team, a stable of hip-hop sprinters and sundry others who train at UCLA's Drake Stadium and hang together in the off-hours. Four of the HSI guys spent the Olympics at a beach house in Coogee. Greene was out there, and so were Jon Drummond, Curtis Johnson and Ato Boldon. This last guy is from...

Points for quoting Gandhi, history's ultimate noodge...

He works hard to burnish a high-gloss image as the gum-popping, strutting leader of coach John Smith's Handling Speed Intelligently team, a stable of hip-hop athletes who train at UCLA's Drake Stadium and hang together in the off-hours. In a strategy similar to the Jones camp's, the honchos at HSI sought to approximate L.A. in Sydney by renting a beach house in Coogee. Sharing it were four HSI sprinters: Greene...
