WASHINGTON - U.S. sprinter Justin Gatlin unwittingly had testosterone cream massaged into his legs by a masseuse who carried a grudge against him before the April race at which he tested positive for steroids, Gatlin's coach Trevor Graham said by phone Sunday.

Graham said Gatlin, who faces a lifetime ban from track and field for the positive test for the anabolic steroid, thought the cream was a harmless lotion. Graham said when he walked in on the massage session the masseuse hurriedly stuffed a white jar of the substance in his pocket.

Does she also work on Barry Bonds???

Having your enemy give you a massage. BAD IDEA!

Letting someone rub mysterious white cream on you. BAD IDEA!

Telling this story to any one (especially during any kind of a hearing). BAD IDEA!
