[edit] Progression to long course
Like many British triathletes competing in the race series put on by the International Triathlon Union, he eventually moved on from short course Olympic-distance racing to long course. He has competed in a number of 70.3 and full Ironman distance races following his domination on the short course. He finished 5th at the Ironman Triathlon in Kona, Hawaii, in 1998, and 8th in 2000. He won two Ironman Distance races: Ironman Florida in 2001 and Ironman Brazil in 2002.

In 1998, Smith was accused of using the banned substance nandrolone. He was cleared 17 months later in 1999. During his following battles against doping allegations in 2000 to 2001, Smith rode for the now-defunct British professional cycling team, the Linda McCartney Racing Team.[3]
