Ben Johnson Doping Scandal explained by Patrick Reid

[@charisse.c]

He was the scapegoat.

[@supertoyota5]

This was amazing. Iv always been a big fan of ben johnson

[@TheAthletesPodcast]

One of the greatest to ever do it.

[@sharoncampbell6999]

There is always The truth. Most enlightening!

[@JahleeyahKalonji]

wow, the part about Ben's Dad tore me up.....sigh

[@TheAthletesPodcast]

So tough hearing how much he cared about Ben & his family

[@gloriaglo8403]

Ben ran the best 100. No one else ran the 100 like Ben.

[@ryanesau8147]

Ben would beat pretty much any of the top sprinters today… out of the blocks he’s still untouchable

[@voraciousreader3341]

Yes, as long as his juice was humming in his veins! Yes, indeed, with the whites of his eyes completely mustard yellow, yup! Fastest ever! (Give me a BREAK!)

@@voraciousreader3341 As Reid mentions the issue that among so many positive tests Johnson was the one targeted...

[@gskn7147]

Good insight by Reid. Enjoyed this podcast.

[@TheAthletesPodcast]

Thanks G Skn!

[@archy2frank2]

Jesus this man feels for Ben and his family.

[@TheAthletesPodcast]

More than people know!

[@ianjackson3346]

Oh, it hurt. I felt bad for him. And the thing is he paid the price, and they made an example of him, whereas, a lot of others got away

[@TheAthletesPodcast]

All the others got away.

What do Ben Johnson, Linford Christie, Donavon Bailey, Yohan Blake and Usain Bolt all have in common?

[@grazianoangei1731]

Le sostanze illecite che hanno usato x esseri i migliori! Chi crede che a certi livelli non siano tutti dopati e un credulone!

[@Striker-jg9kv]

May be Jamaican ancestry??

Who can we hang out to dry? Oh and give the gold to Lewis

[@TheAthletesPodcast]

only makes sense...

[@TheProdigalSon325]

@@franriding6473 exactly what happened. They knew Carl would never beat Ben no matter what Carl took, hgh, steroids, stimulants, anything. Ben was always better. Ben would have kept winning for the next who knows how many years.

Wait... is that true? No test for stanozolol? Canadian guy took test to soeul? I had NEVER heard this in the years I've been researching johnson. Is this true?
