Yep he threw the discuss in a throw at a local meet pretty sure it was in December 1999, but might have been January, a distance of about 15 cm further than Alenka did at the Olympics in late September 2000.also Santoz did Reiterer not go to Sydney Olympics by his own choice the waymybrain is remembering/telling me... and then (few months or single month post or preceding) the melbourne metropolitan athletics T&A calender/fixture he won the hammerthrow/or discus whichever his discipline in the weekend mèet for his home club (Kew?), in a distance which would have won him gold in Sydney. at least that is how I remember the anecdote... it does 'sound' apocryphal tho
IIRC, Reiterer launched his book in March 2000 and a couple of days later did a presser saying he wouldn't compete. If John Coates wasn't at the presser he definitely was in the media commenting about it that he couldn't compete as he had admitted to being a dope user, he still had to serve a penalty which would mean he couldn't compete in Sydney
