US former athlete Maurice Greene denies doping
American former athlete Maurice Greene has strongly denied allegations that he used banned drugs to improve his performance.
The New York Times has claimed that Maurice Greene, who is a former double Olympics champion, was said by former discus thrower Angel Guillermo Heredia to have used prohibited substances.
Angel Guillermo Heredia says that Maurice Greene, who retired from sport in February, paid him around $40,000 (£20,000) for drugs in 2003 and 2004.
However, in the Daily Telegraph, Maurice Greene, 33, responded: "This is a bad situation. My name has come up in something and it is not true. My stance has always been that there's no place in our sport for drug users."
Angel Guillermo Heredia is appearing as a witness in a forthcoming trial of Trevor Graham, who coached disgraced athlete Marion Jones and 2004 Olympic 100m champion Justin Gatlin.
Angel Guillermo Heredia also claims that Trevor Graham, supplied drugs to his athletes as well as to other sprinters and their coaches.
