Track coach Trevor Graham is done helping his athletes obtain steroids after receiving a lifetime ban from any event sanctioned by the U.S. Olympic Committee, the IAAF, USA Track and Field or any other organization that participates in the World Anti-Doping Agency program.

“There has been a belief out there that coaches, doctors and other people who support athletes were somehow outside the long arm of the rules,” USADA CEO Travis Tygart said in a phone interview. “This is a strong reminder that they’re not, and that we’ll use our authority to hold coaches accountable if they assist and aid athletes in doping.”

They may have caught Graham but the whole world knows he isn’t the only coach helping his athletes succeed with steroids. Banning one guy isn’t going to solve anything, but I guess it can’t hurt.
