I'm going to say something controversial right now, Carl Lewis – I have no respect for him. He is just looking for attention because nobody really talks much about him. It was really sad for me when I heard what he was saying, it was upsetting. I've lost all respect for him. It was all about drugs stuff for me. For an athlete to be out of the sport saying that was really upsetting.
