Anyone remember Alvin Harrison?
The two-time Olympic gold medalist, who helped lead North Salinas to a state team track title along with his twin brother Calvin in 1993, is back.
Well sort off.
After a four-year suspension for alleged steroid use, Harrison, 35; resurfaced, running for the Dominican Republic on their 1,600 relay team earlier this year.
According to Track and Field news, Harrison married a woman from the Dominican Republic. It's uncertain whether he will be eligible for the World Championships for the Dominican Republic later this summer.
But it's intriguing.
Harrison helped the United States win Olympic gold medals in the 1,600 relay in 1996 and 2000. He was a silver medalist in 2000 in the 400.
