 | | SAN FRANCISCO -- Olympic gold medalist Antonio Pettigrew admitted publicly for the first time Thursday that he used performance-enhancing substances during a long, successful sprinting career in which he passed all drug tests. |
 | | Gatlin, like Pettigrew, was once a member of Graham's Sprint Capitol USA team in Raleigh, N.C., which also included sprinters Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery -- both of whom are now imprisoned. |
 | | Pettigrew, now an assistant track coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, testified that Graham encouraged him in 1997 to inject human growth hormone and the oxygen-boosting drug EPO, both banned in track. |
