Aleksandr Pogorelov was a talented decathlete with podium-level performances on major stages, but his legacy has been significantly impacted by doping findings and annulled results.
The Decathlon's nice in that you get to know the other athletes. It's almost like everyone helps each other out. We're all out there trying to win, but at the same time there's a friendship there too. It's always fun going to meets and catching up with the other guys - Tom Pappas
