KEY POINTS:
Trevor Graham, who has coached some of the world's fastest athletics stars, was charged yesterday with hindering the US Government's steroids probe.
Graham, who sparked the now three-year-old federal investigation, was charged with three counts of making false statements to federal agents, who were investigating performance-enhancing substances in professional sports.
He operates Raleigh, North Carolina-based Sprint Capitol USA, a team of about 10 athletes that includes Justin Gatlin, the 100m co-world record holder who tested positive for testosterone and other steroids in April.
