A dozen journalists surrounded Sebastian. Microphones, recording pens, and flashing cameras were all around him.
"Coach Sebastian, claims have been made that you have been giving your athletes performance-enhancing drugs. Is this true?"
"Coach Sebastian, say something about the drug scandal, please!"
"Mr. Sebastian. You are the head coach of the American National Track and Field Team and are now involved in the biggest drug scandal in American history. What are you thinking right now?"

"You are the first name on the list of coaches involved in the scandal. What's your explanation?" asked a journalist at once.
