ESPN.com: OLY - IAAF cautious after Charlie Francis statement Francis admitted he introduced Johnson to steroids and was banned for life by the Canada's track and field federation in 1989. Francis was Johnson's coach when the Canadian failed a drug test and was stripped of his gold medal after winning the 100 meters at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Francis confirmed he was a "consultant'' to Jones and Montgomery and lamented they were being "publicly vilified'' for the arrangement. espn.go.com /oly/news/2003/0203/1503470.html

Diary of Clara Mineah Charlie went with milk and I rode down town with [him] to see May Dutcher about getting a piece of lace of her as she has some just like what I wanted and is like some I have, only I did not get enough. Charlie went to the other place and him and Fred Court went to the woods and cut wood and then afternoon they were up here and split wood in wood house.

Standard Personal Letter Francis began to mention the smell by the time we got down to the river, and after the wetting down at the icehouse (the shed was a chicken house with lots of leavings and more food spills). Charlie, who was steering, managed to keep the boat from broaching to as I fished the sail and mast out of the water, but by this time I was scared and persuaded him to work over to the west shore. Charlie and I didn't like to take milk to the Gilberts as he would sometimes chase us with a rope and pretend he was going to catch us and tie us up, and tie us up, and we were afraid that he would. www.der-adler.com /family/csjanes.htm

washingtonpost.com: Montgomery, Jones Meet With Their Agent Francis, who lives in Toronto, already had been planning to travel to Raleigh -- the training home of Montgomery and Jones -- to begin training with the two sprinters there, a source said. Francis was banned for life by Athletics Canada after he admitted giving steroids to Johnson.

CNNSI.com - More Sports - IAAF: Charlie Francis should be given a chance - Friday January 31, 2003 10:43 PM Charlie Francis was Johnson's coach when the Canadian runner failed a drug test and was stripped of his gold medal and world record after winning the 100 meters at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Francis said the fact that Jones and Montgomery chose to work with him was evidence enough the two Americans did not use banned substances.

BBC - History - Charlie's War: The Diary and Letters of a Canadian Corporal Charlie later learned that the 8th Battalion had just lost 525 of 750 men who had gone into action the day before he was meant to join them. Charlie never questioned why he should join up; it was simply his duty to go to France and fight in World War One. Throughout his service, Charlie kept a diary as well as writing frequent letters to his 'Dearest Mother' and other family members back in Manitoba. www.bbc.co.uk /history/war/wwone/charlie_war_diary_01.shtml

USATODAY.com - Jones halts association with controversial coach Francis thought the best time to announce the arrangement was in December, backed by an endorsement of Francis' return to the sport by the judge who headed the 1989 Canadian inquiry into the Johnson case. Francis secured the endorsement, but the Montgomery-Jones camp only announced the firing of ex-coach Trevor Graham, with their agent Charley Wells even denying a Francis connection. In the past week, Francis issued statements and interviews, saying he was wrong in encouraging Johnson to use performance drugs and that Jones and Montgomery proved him wrong about saying non-doped athletes couldn't win at the elite level. www.usatoday.com /sports/olympics/summer/2003-02-06-jones-coach_x.htm

BBC SPORT Sports Talk Is Marion Jones right to drop coach? Charlie Francis is one of the great sprint coaches, however, on his website Ben Johnson features prominently as an advert for his expertise and until recently top performances in athletics were according to Francis not possible without the use of drugs. Charlie Francis was, and is, undeniably a great coach and probably the best coach in the world. Charlie never killed anybody and there are lots of over the counter "supplements" in the US that can kill you more readily than any unproven steroid effects. news.bbc.co.uk /sport2/low/sports_talk/2723525.stm

Daily As for Francis’ latest attempt to return to the track, the IIAF let it be know that they would have a problem with Jones and Montgomery if they continued to have Francis around. Francis believed that all of Johnson’s competitors were using and Johnson was willing to be the folly. Francis had hooked up with American sprint star Marion Jones and said that he saw how incredibly she ran without drugs. www.thefanview.com /rant/rant020703.html

The Archive Charles Ross Francis, known as Charlie, was born in 1889 in Headingly, Manitoba, and was working as an insurance inspector in Winnipeg at the time that he joined up. As a private again, Charlie applied for and was accepted as a Clerk at the 1st Canadian Division Headquarters. Charlie's survival of nearly 3 years at the front owed more than it's fair share to fortunate timing. www.kingandempire.com /francis1.html

washingtonpost.com: Controversy Runs Jones Away Francis is expected to act as a long-distance consultant to the couple's formal coaching staff, namely: biomechanics expert Derek Hansen, a former long jumper from Canada, and an as-yet-to-be-named assistant or co-coach. Francis, who lives in Toronto with his 4-year-old son and wife Angela, flew home tonight after several days in Raleigh, concluding what were expected to be his last in-person coaching sessions with the pair for some time. Francis released a statement last Friday saying he has neither encouraged nor condoned drug use by any athletes with whom he has consulted in the last 15 years. www.washingtonpost.com /ac2/wp-dyn/A20757-2003Feb3?language=printer

ESPN.com: OLY - Jones, Montgomery end association with controversial coach Francis Jones, her golden image at risk, said she is regretfully ending her relationship with Charlie Francis. Francis was banned from working with elite Canadian athletes after admitting he supplied steroids to Johnson, who was stripped of his 100-meter gold medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Still, she said she regretted splitting with Francis, whom she credited with refining her form and restoring her confidence. espn.go.com /oly/news/2003/0206/1504834.html

Steroids' powerful, troubling attraction / Olympic track trials raise question: Must athletes cheat to win? Fifteen years ago, with Canada wallowing in a sports doping scandal, a track and field coach named Charlie Francis sat before a government panel and testified under oath that essentially all elite Olympic athletes were cheaters. Francis said they all used banned performance-enhancing drugs like his protege, the disgraced Ben Johnson, who won Olympic gold and set a world record in the 100 meters at the 1988 Seoul Olympics only to be unmasked days later as a steroid user. Tim Montgomery, the world-record holder in the 100 meters, has publicly denied using illegal performance-enhancers, but The Chronicle has reported he admitted to a federal grand jury that he regularly received a steroid-like substance known as "the clear" and human growth hormone from BALCO over an eight-month span in 2001. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=c/a/2004/07/08/MNGO07I8F71.DTL&type=printable

Johnson, Ben At the Dubin Commission hearings Charlie Francis and then Johnson himself admitted that Johnson and other athletes had systematically used steroids, beating the tests by stopping the use a set period before a race. In 1978 he entered national competition with the Scarborough Optimists track club in Toronto under coach Charlie Francis (later national sprint coach). In 1976 Johnson immigrated to Canada and was attracted to competitive sprinting, initially in the 100 and 200 m. www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com /index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&ArticleId=A0004147

THOSE WHO SOW THE WIND The path of Charlie points from the spiritual world as it traces from where some of the plot was hatched to New York, where it was enacted. Consider that the airport taken out by Charlie was where some of the hijackers were trained, and were based. Charlie broke that drought, then perhaps headed where some people of evil intention lived in luxury. www.rumormillnews.com /cgi-bin/forum.cgi?noframes;read=54774

Hurricane Francis Charlie was just a sweep of the area in Daytona compared to what we expect from Frances as it bears down on this area with at least 3 times the force than we got from Charlie. You may think at first that I am nuts for saying a blessing, but, If Charlie had not come when and as it did, the people of Daytona would be scoffing at Frances as they have the other Hurricanes in recent past. During Hurricane Charlie, they sent the Tampa and Ocala people to Daytona for them to find out that they would have been missed if they just stayed home, but rather, they came here to find themselves put in harms way. www.onlinefleamarket.net /hurricane_francis.htm

BBC - Birmingham - Sport - Martial arts magic by Mason Before hand it was a one sided contest, with Charlie Francis dominating from the off. Francis tried everything, but the Midlands fighter was having none of it, eventually summoning up a superb manoeuvre over his fast-tiring opponent to turn him over and give him a taste of his own medicine. Roared on by his passionate and highly vocal army of fans, Mason was pinned down for almost the whole of the first round by Francis from London in a tense and thrilling contest. www.bbc.co.uk /birmingham/content/articles/2005/02/21/mixed_martial_arts_sports_feature.shtml

Mike's Revenge Francis has finally pulled off of the front and turned the reigns over to Charlie to get them up the shallow portion of the next climb. Francis showed that he was not going take being beaten by a young upstart lightly this year. I really expect this race to start out much as it did last stage, and right on cue, Francis is pulling the train out of the station as they rush headlong to meet their personal demons. kokomoschwinn.com /mrcom.htm

Jones to leave Francis for Nike's sake Marion Jones is to announce this week that she is no longer working with Ben Johnson's former coach Charlie Francis after coming under severe pressure to cut her ties with him from her biggest sponsor, Nike. Francis claimed that she was capable of challenging the world 100 metres record of 10.49sec set by Florence Griffith Joyner in 1988. Nike is worried that by working with Francis, who admitted under oath in 1989 encouraging Johnson and other athletes he coached to use steroids throughout their careers, Jones's reputation will be tarnished beyond repair. www.buzzle.com /editorials/2-5-2003-34950.asp

Stairway On the ascent of the second climb of the day, Francis, Charlie, Seth and Steve have made the slightest of gaps on the rest of the lead group. Francis has attacked one more time and left Charlie alone and wondering if he had just blown a lung. He has lost the wheel of Charlie and Francis and dropped back as the two leaders pull away from him. kokomoschwinn.com /hillcom.htm

Edna Purviance, Nevada's Forgotten Movie Star, by David W. Toll Charlie wanted to frighten her out of the bet, but she would not budge, even when another of the guests told her she was foolish to proceed. Obviously Charlie was not averse to "delightful impromptus" as he described this adventure, and by the next year, when he and Edna cranked out eight 2-reelers for Mutual, their romance was clearly fading. Charlie Chaplin, meanwhile, was a promising young comedian from England who had taken to the music hall stage as a youngster. www.nevadaweb.com /nevadaca/edna.html

Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Jones keeping ghostly company Charlie Wells, Jones’s agent, denied that Francis was coaching her. Trouble is, the Olympic champion’s Peter Foster is Charlie Francis, a coach more notorious for doping his athletes than for their on-track successes. Other reports said that Francis had been running a coaching clinic close to Jones’s Carolina home last month, and that Hansen was assisting. scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com /sport.cfm?id=1423512002

ABC Sport - Athletics - Jones regrets association with former coach Francis was banned for life by Athletics Canada after his protege Ben Johnson tested positive for steroids after winning the 1988 Seoul 100 metres Olympic final in world record time. As well as the Francis connection, Jones was formerly married to 1999 world shot put champion CJ Hunter, who tested positive four times for the anabolic steroid nandrolone before the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Jones and her partner Tim Montgomery, the world 100 metres record holder, attracted a rash of unwelcome publicity when they were coached briefly by Francis at the start of last year. www.abc.net.au /sport/content/s1048518.htm

The TKR/January 2003 Charlie Francis is probably one of the top 5 trainers in the history of sprinting and it is perfectly understandable that any elite figure would seek his advice to improve further. If anyone believes that Francis achieved what he did with Ben Jonhson through steroid use, then they are pathetically mistaken. Lamine Diack, president of the IAAF, has said that both runners' association with Francis was tarnishing the image of their sport. humatron.com /home/news/2003_arch/2003_jan.htm

Famous Scots - Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) Bonnie Prince Charlie was a grandson of King James VII who was driven out of Britain in 1688 because of his support of the Catholic faith. George's mother was Sophia, a grand-daughter of King James VI Even so, the rules of succession gave James Francis Stuart a stronger right to the throne, a point not lost on the Jacobite supporters, most of whom were in Scotland. In 1718, James Francis Stuart married Princess Clementina Maria Sobieski of Poland who was one of the wealthiest females of royal birth in Europe. www.rampantscotland.com /famous/blfamcharlie.htm

Condemnation of Francis way off track All because Charlie Francis set up Ben Johnson's training program and then had the gall to talk about it at the Dubin Inquiry. Never mind that Charlie Francis has no interest in getting back out there in the track world. The way they call Charlie Francis a drug cheat. www.canoe.ca /Slam030207/col_simmons-sun.html

IAAF eyes Francis' link to Jones, Montgomery Charlie is certainly no rose, but he has served his time. Francis has been banned for life by Athletics Canada for his role in the Ben Johnson drug scandal. The Times says Golden League directors, concerned that the star sprinters may be burdened with baggage as a result of any working ties with Francis, raised concerns at an IAAF working group meeting in Dakar on Dec. 20. www.canoe.ca /Slam030124/oth_track-sun.html
