Boldon knows right way to run

Ato Boldon, of Trinidad, competes in a first round heat of the Men's 100 meters at the World Track and Field Championships in Edmonton, Alberta, in this Aug. 4, 2001 photo. The International Amateur Athletic Federation said Saturday, Sept. 8, 2001, that Boldon tested positive for the banned stimulant ephedrine at the Mount SAC Relays in April. An ephedrine positive carries a maximum penalty of disqualification from the meet and a public warning.

Former world-class sprinter Ato Boldon, the owner of four Olympic medals and a world championship, works with NFL prospects at the Test Football Academy in Martinsville, N.J. “I am basically turning football players into sprinters for a while,” said Boldon, who competed for Trinidad and Tobago. This year, he is working with about 60 college athletes, who are seeking to make their running style and strides more efficient. “We are making a little portion of their brains be sprinters; they are 100 percent football players, but for these purposes, they must learn the proper way to run.”
