	Sport \| Interview: Maurice Greene
		Maurice Greene owns the personalised number plate MO GOLD, but last year his rivals joked it should be changed to "Slow Mo" because the American seemed unable to find anything other than reverse gear.
		Greene said he believed he was the best ever - hence the letters GOAT (greatest of all time) that are etched in his new lion's-mane tattoo on his left bicep.
		Greene believes he is the greatest because of his longevity - he was ranked No1 for seven years up until 2003 - and because he owns three of the four fastest times in the world, including 9.80 and 9.82.

		Greene, who has a pitbull tatooed on his arm, remains positive that in sprinting, there are no limits.
