Scott Russell: How 1988 Ben Johnson scandal led to Canada's role in anti-doping

[@Chrisman77]

Scott Russell is straight dope. Excellent story telling and very thought provoking.

[@dCaddyshk]

Never should have left Charlie Francis Mgmt. In addition he was not a Canadian Citizen when he won; I mean lost.

True happiness Consists not in the multitude of friends, But in the worth and choice . Ben Jonson - Plays Right oops Playwright and poet.

[@michaeldevaney5728]

Johnson should instantly have recieved a life ban

[@ajparr5585]

Oh come on Scott it was an even playing field

[@отпирайте]

Robert Hill yep

[@falconeshield]

It's all speculation though. Only he was 'caught'. Bit impossible that only Ben was marked tbh

[@timw4369]

the whole field was on the juice. Its worse now as its all hidden and even WADA is not clean. Sports have not changed just look at the russians and the chinese teams. Its a disgrace everyone owes Ben Johnson an apology he took the fall for entire sporting world.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Nobody owes Johnson an apology, especially when he was caught a further two times after his ban. However, you're right about the Russians. They have been cheating for decades; so did the East Germans. The health effects of their state-sponsored doping programs have been horrific.

[@falconeshield]

Is there proof or is it speculation?

I cannot believe that Ben Johnson would be so naive as to sell his soul to the Devil
