The Ben Johnson story

[@nherleka]

Love Ben Johnson despite drug test failure ! Go Ben, Go Canada !

[@sherlock747]

Ben Johnson...Best 100m runner ever.

[@AleksAleksov454]

Ben Johnson the best

[@ThunderJuice]

Carl Lewis had braces in 1987 when he had perfectly straight teeth in his early career (see his Wikipedia page). If you don't know, braces in seasoned athletes are a telltale sign of HGH use as it enhances the size of the jaw, thus growing the teeth apart. Just something to think about asides from the cold medicine or the herbal remedy or whatever he says it was next time he's questioned about it.

[@stevemarks1408]

Not to mention, Lewis should have been disqualified from attending the games after failing a test. And then should’ve been disqualified from the race because he left his lane before the finish line. Plus he whined a lot.

[@MrDominic600]

@@stevemarks1408the last sentence basically says, “plus fuck him” lol

[@miltondemagnifique]

dude, he failed a drug test beforehand, and it was covered up. He was on the juice. Calvin Smith was the deserving gold medalist

[@jc1838]

They made Ben the fall guy.

[@BellyBoy86]

ben johnson can at least be proud that he ran faster than the other competitors and he finished first, period.

[@Fabiano79]

Crossed by the greatest hypocrisy ever seen in sport. Carl Lewis, Linford Christie both Olympic gold medalists were caught in doping. The American with a physicist wide open by Anabilziantes (Florence Griffith-Joyner) was never caught. Ridiculous. For me Ben will be remembered for being an extremely strong runner with a strong start and after getting upright to increase his speed and be steady, something no sprinter in the world has ever done. Bolt starts poorly, but Bolt is on another level. Ben was 20 years ahead of his time.

very good to recall back pass memory.

[@mjb76]

Other clean athletes? It's been proven time and time again that Lewis had failed tests but USOC had the power to have those positive tests swept under the rug. Anyone that thinks Ben was the only one on roids in that 100m final is beyond naive.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Anyone who thinks that because other athletes cheated, that reduces the shame and disgrace that Ben Johnson repeatedly brought to athletics as a result of his cheating, is beyond naiive.

0:46 Ben Johnson looked almost naturally superhuman. Even though certain people have separate access levels to steroids certain steriods could have helped him.

[@TheJhtlag]

The thing I noticed as a casual observer was the definition in his muscles, striations like you'd see in a bodybuilder. Just picked him out of the starting blocks, pretty obvious something was very different there.

[@Msumner316]

Still.........doped or not.......the man flew.........he pushed the limits of human ability..........he took a drug but he didn't have a jet pack.........the feet still carried him..........I do not agree with doping.........I'm just saying the man was fast

[@Icemannaz]

If everyone was doped why was he the only one they caught

[@karim4ful1]

Like the others. Only two runners in this final never been convicted of drug using and CARL LEWIS is not one of those two. Lol. Even the ex director of the IOC said that he controlled Lewis positive several times but the US team shredded those reports. While he admitted to long-time steroid use, they had their cycles worked out, and wouldn't have been so sloppy as to test positive during the biggest race of Ben's career. Someone made sure that he failed that particular test.

[@Wally-r1f]

Ben is a legend. Everyone was cheating back then, if you didn't use you couldn't win

[@marlon1171]

They were all on banned substances in that line up he just got caught..

[@FRiKiJDM]

Newsflash: Everyone in 100m finals in OI use PED. It's not just steroids as it used to be, it's a designer's mixture of many things. Some roids stay in system for a few days, some for few weeks. All the hard juicing is going on in the off season and preparations, but it is going on all the time. How to detect steroids in system, increased TRT ratio? There's an anti-dope for that too. PED providers are always a step ahead of commission.

[@TigerWoodsLoveChild]

Carl Lewis was juiced to the max too, as were most all of them. Ben just wasn't on a very smart program.

[@sherlock747]

Ben tore his hamstring that year and his pharmacist had him taking steroids too close to the Olympics to help with the healing process. That's why it hadn't cleared his system before Seoul. All the other sprinters had more time to get their systems clear. They were all on drugs.

[@StreetKingz4Life]

paula radcliffe commenting on doping. Please one of the biggest drug cheats there was. Pathetic yes Johnson paid the price for the entire drug cheating olympic movement. Brutal he wasnt teh only one and he wasnt the worst one. Its a sad state when you blame one guy for a problem that was throughout the athletic field.

[@JSC112095]

Its all the same all over the world. What ever it takes to WIN! Every person has the same choices and all who do the dirty deed states well if I do not some one else will. So they sell there soul, honor and dignity. Just look at every ones government there is a prime example!

[@ShengYu1995]

Ben Johnson, Carl Lewis and 5 other athletes were all on drugs during that race.. so there was 1 person that wasnt on drugs...either Ben deserves the gold...or that 1 person deserves the gold and no one gets the silver or bronze.. idk why the fuck the olympics turn a blind eye on carl

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Johnson brought himself down and the sport down. Just because Lewis does not have a clean history does not justify what Johnson did.

yh right... these people only attacked ben because he was winning... the others who doped and did not win weren't treated as harsh as ben... all that happened the world preferred carl over ben and that caused all this

[@markomak1]

It is funny that people think that Johnson is a cheat, scrub, criminal etc.... but forget that to win against a doper you need to dope. Now note that Usain Bolt is faster than Johnson.
