  • Ireland’s John Treacy won two world cross country titles and a silver medal in the marathon at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Over breakfast in his house just outside Dublin, he reminisces on a golden era of track and field for Ireland, talks about the state of doping in the sport, and ponders what he would do differently if he was training and competing today.
