Jamaica Gleaner – Jul 1, 2007
I was in the best form of my life in ’84 because I was hell-bent that there was no way I was going to use drugs. Tym Glaser Associate Editor – SportHIS THUMB AND forefinger are a hair’s breadth apart as Jamaica’s most famous cyclist David Weller reveals how close he was to turning to performance-enhancing drugs. “I was in Brisbane (Commonwealth Games) in 1982 and finished fourth in both my events (1000m time trial and 1000m match sprint)” Weller the only Jamaican to win an Olympic medal outside of track and field said. “I finished behind guys I regularly used to beat.
