Disgraced Graham says he did nothing wrong

NEW YORK: Trevor Graham, the disgraced athletics coach who remains banned for life by USA Track and Field, told the New York Times he was innocent in his first public comments about doping since the 2004 Olympics.

Graham, the ex-coach of disgraced former stars Marion Jones, Justin Gatlin and Tim Montgomery, served a year of home confinement for making false statements to a federal agent in a steroid investigation that he helped launch.

"I didn't do anything wrong," Graham told the Times in comments published late on Saturday after an interview of nearly five hours on Friday night.
