it began in the church of jonathan edwards who was the most establishment figure. one day, he was preaching -- that sermon of his about the spider hanging over the fire and so on, the angry god, it's always quoted but he didn't do that very much. he would always remind people that he was a sinner indeed. he would also. [inaudible] for individuals to come to christ and to god. eventually, this church became a boil with the sentiment. it turned out that this was happening in various other little parts of the country. around the same time, this english preacher who is actually an anglican profession came here and he preached up and down the eastern seaboard from city to city. he was such a compelling presence but that great actor david garrick said that he could attract a huge crowd just by pronouncing the word mesopotamia [laughter] it was whitefield who really took over the first great awakening. he moved it from state to state. he was the first sort of inter- colonial celebrity and in a way he brought americans together before the revolutionary war. the next great

athletes including paula radcliffe, jonathan edwards and colinjackson are amongst those who could bedure. i think they kind of nullified the whole of my career. my personal best is a world record, correct. but if they remove that off the record books, that means they literally wiped out a huge part of my career. can you understand where they are coming from? they say they need to make this more believable. anyone listening on the radio and watching needs to be able to measure that against this. to do that, we need to start from scratch. does that make ita start from scratch. does that make it a valid argument at all? no. a simple answer. what we tried to do was convinced the general public that athletics is clear. the best way we can do that is have a real stringent doping test procedure that eve ryo ne stringent doping test procedure that everyone is confident with. i think to really put us all in the same category as everyone else banned from taking drugs and removing medals etc from them, it is harsh to those clean like myself. do you feel clea n those clean like myself. do you fe
