Was there ever an athlete more in love with himself than Carl Lewis (when most other folk can't stand him).
To call himself a "leader" for the sport is laughable - time and again he demonstrated he was in it for himself.
And the claim that the sport grew every year he was competing, but hasn't grown since, really makes you wonder which world he is in!
Outside of track and Olympic fans most people remember for his ongoing spat with Ben Johnson.
Usain Bolt has done more for the promotion of sport in the last few years than Lewis did in the whole of his career!
