Convicted Doper Dennis Mitchell Is Now The Paid Head USA Relays Coach Hired By USATF National Office Without Input Of USATF High Performance Committee
Dennis Mitchell, the convicted doper who admitted at the Trevor Graham trial to taking HGH (but at the time of his positive test said he had high testosterone because he had five bottles of beer and sex with his wife at least four times), is now the paid director of the USATF relay program, and he was hired for this position by the USATF national office with no consultation of the USATF High Performance Committee.
The last two years, Mitchell has served as the head sprint coach of Team USA at the World Relays, and many assumed that he was serving in a volunteer capacity like the other coaches. LetsRun.com can now report that Mitchell is in fact a paid employee or contractor for USATF, heading up its relay team for the World Championships and Olympics.
Numerous attempts to speak to Mitchell or anyone at USATF behind this decision have gone unanswered.
