Steve Cram has questioned the decision to appoint Linford Christie as a mentor to young UK athletes.

However, middle-distance legend Cram believes the decision is flawed because Christie's involvement in Beijing in 2008 will be restricted following his positive test for nandrolone in 1999 while in semi-retirement.
