Carl Lewis: Mr Smarm - the interviewer's dream (though by all accounts, a bit of a madam in his dealings with other athletes).
Andy Lyons Melody Maker (1988) |
I never developed the macho side as a lot of boys do. Even my sister, Carol, shows more masculinity, but that doesn't make me a homosexual. They say I am, but I am not. They say it because nobody knows what I'm doing. I don't even sleep in the same hotel as the other athletes. I could be sleeping with a horse, for all they know.
Carl Lewis (1987) |
I wouldn't be surprised if one day Carl's halo slipped and choked him.
Allan Wells (1989) |
