Marry Decker Slaney I'm afraid, is a poster woman for all that was
bad with track and field in the U.S. in the 80s and 90s and possibly
later. I believe Slaney is still not eligible to compete according
to the IAAF because she never paid back the Silver Medal prize money
she won in the '95 World Indoor Championship after her positive drug
test. She was almost certainly part of the systematic drug program
run by Athletics West that Malmo told us about. A dark chapter for
USATF was when she was elected to the Hall of Fame.
