		ATHENS — Moments after the women's Olympic 100-meter final last night, U.S. sprinter Lauryn Williams looked up at the giant scoreboard in Olympic Stadium and saw an inspiring image, captured by the cameras: her cancer-stricken father, a day removed from difficult dialysis treatments, leaping up and down in the stands.

	Lauryn Williams, world's fastest woman \| Athletics \| Guardian Unlimited Sport
		Lauryn Williams is very small, very friendly and very different from Jones and Florence Griffith Joyner - those taller, flashier and grander icons whose downfall helped infuse an entire sport with doubt and notoriety.
		It is significant that Williams, also a winner in the 4x100m relay on Saturday, now uses her victory to make a statement of larger intent - especially as seven previous 100m world champions have been involved in doping allegations.
		Williams' desire to move on from the old drug saga is highlighted by the blunt way in which she dismisses the mysterious case of Nesterenko - who arrived in Athens last year with a world ranking of 113.
