I did not hear about a retirement announcement before or after Sydney. It
was my impression from the press conference in Sydney that Mr. Hunter was
going to make every effort to prove that the four tests were not, in fact,
valid and that he would compete again.
Am I wrong? Has everyone else heard about this "retirement" and I somehow
did not? Or, for those who saw the show last night, was she referring to
something besides her husband's complete retirement from track and field?

Hunter announced his retirement in an interview he did with NBC's Ahmad
Rashad in Sydney before the public announcement of his positive tests.
