The once golden U.S. Track and Field team is finding its luster fading in a steroids scandal that could leave many of its top athletes out of the starting blocks in Athens.

Kelli White, the world sprint champion at 100 and 200 meters, has admitted she used undetectable steroids provided by athletes. Earlier this week, four more track stars, including Tim Montgomery, the fastest man in the world, have been notified that they are under investigation. America’s top female runner, Marion Jones, has not been formally accused but is also under investigation.

The Olympics have grown more competitive and more commercial since those first games in ancient Greece. Is the world’s love affair with the Olympics flaming out?
