    He received a four-year ban after testing positive for testosterone (2007).
    He flunked his drug test three days after telling Sports Illustrated, 'I know what it would mean to track and field if I ever tested positive.... Not to have an ego about it, but that might be the KO for our sport.'
    His world record tying time of 9.77 seconds in the 100 meters was officially nullified.
    He is a regular competitor on Spike TV's Pros vs. Joes.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He converted from being a hurdler to a sprinter.
    He won the 100 meters in the World Championships by the largest margin recorded (2005).
    He successfully appealed his first suspension, claiming the positive test had been caused by a prescription drug he took for ADD.
