SAN FRANCISCO: Olympic gold medalist Antonio Pettigrew was identified on Friday in government court documents as a user of illegal and banned performance-enhancing drugs.
The gold medalist in the 4x400 relay at the 2000 Sydney Olympics is one of seven elite athletes once trained by Trevor Graham who are scheduled to testify their former coach set them up with performance-enhancing drugs, according to the prosecutors' filing.
Graham's trial is scheduled to start May 19 in US District Court in Northern California.
