According to Ben's own words he tried to blame it on some guy who spiked his drink-after the race-before HE provided the sample. Ben admits it was HIS sample. I didn't have to see the test result in the lab with my own eyes-neither should you. When people get caught they should simply admit it - stop trying to blame everyone else. I do feel sorry for Ben Johnson in one respect...if virtually everyone else was juicing, yet he gets caught simply because he was running faster during that time.
Shut up Ben Johnson. Yes. It's easy to train hard when you know you have a huge advantage! Yes, it's likely some others haven't been caught but you DID! Own up to it, then move on. Dueces.
Shut up Ben Johnson. Yes. It's easy to train hard when you know you have a huge advantage! Yes, it's likely some others haven't been caught but you DID! Own up to it, then move on. Dueces.
Ben Johnson's accent doesn't sound Canadien. Did ye grow up in Canada? Ben J. was the first runner that I ever heard get juiced. However we always suspected the East Germans and Russians back in those days. Hell, Rocky IV showed Drago taking steroids!!!
Assholes its (Ben) Johnson who took drugs not michael johnson, bacume45 when u say johnson was never caught cud u please make clear which johnson ur talkin about cuz u got ma fuckers confused here ,thinking u was referring to michael johnson. Mchael was always clean and never cheated.
Calvin Smith was definitely clean! But the others these days you have to be suspicious. The sprints are like the Tour De France, dirty. Just my opinion.
@lexyhershey09 Iam quite sure you must be white if you are suggesting that Michael Johnson took drugs to be fast. The fact is yes we have had one guy they claim who took drugs Ben Johnson but history speaks for it self black men do not have to take drugs science have proven that we are built for speed and are better atheletes naturally. I was angry about the ben Johnson situation because he didn't need it but he probably had a white coach.
As are many, unfortunately the ones that are caught dominate the headlines for way too long. I STILL LOVE the Sport and CHOOSE to believe MOST of what I see is genuine.
Naive maybe, I call it being hopeful and positive.
Do you know anything about track and field on the world circuit. bout be a leader not a follower. u think its easy winning a race wheneverbody thats winning is taking drugs and not getting booked for it. Hes saying thats hes putting in time effort ,sweat ,blood tears in his training and nothing is happing for him why ppl r cheating. so he did what he needed to do to win and make a living for him self if u dont win u dont get paid simple. put your self in his shoes
Im tired of alll these wold class sprinters saying the disappponited about what happened when HALF no majority are on Drugs Micheal Johnson please he knows he took them never got booked Carl lewis he took them too never got booked Flojo what woman can run 10.4 when women now can even go 10.6 steady back then as far as im concerned everybody was on them drugs the only difference is America made sure none of their athletes got booked
ben johnson is nothin special at all, usain bolt and tyson gay, two completely clean sprinters ran times that absolutely smashed his 9.79 cheated time. it shows dedication beats cheating
word of advice to ben johnson, be a leader not a follower. if all the sprinters started jumpin off bridges would he do it too? apparently he would if he was "a part of the group and the sport"
at 1:19 bob hayes(10.05 at 64 olympics on a chewed up cinder=DIRT track) i wanna see anybody today run a 10.05 on a soft chewed up dirt track !!!!!!!!!!!!!
@fightjunge24 they havn't improved or changed in the last 20 years or so if you know anything about athletics you would know johnson chose to run like that because he felt comfortable and told people it worked for him. Sprinting if you look back 1980 olympics is the same techniques used as today. What has changed is the spikes the athletes run in and the tracks they run on. Other determining factors such as science has helped athletes but in my opinion its mostly down to the athlete.....
@racketer lol and what about the drive phase? johnson had his had up after 5-10 meters powell takes 55meters! the technique has changed alot with john smiths new drive phase u obviusly dont know what u are talking about there
After all this time, at least Ben Johnson could've come clean. "It was placed there by someone...by the American side." He couldn't even make eye contact when he said it.
If you tell the same lie long enough, you start to do the worst thing you could possibly do: believe it.
Carl lewis , Linford christie ..who were also in the 1988 olympic final have tested positive for steroids in there career.. ( You can even google this fact).. it makes me sick that ben johnson copped so much shit and the others got away and nobody really made a big deal about it..
what makes me even sicker is that the gold medal was taken from ben and given to carl lewis (another guy that was also on drugs) .. THATS BEN'S MEDAL.get your medal back ben.
Johnson took his stanozolol too close to the time of being tested. Stanozolol, also known as Winstrol is undetectable in urine in a week or so after ceasation of use. One of his trainers screwed up. Most of the time the athletes are ignorant about the subastances they are being fed by their trainers. Steroids were being used in the olympics since the early sixties, yet no one ran as fast as Johnson did. Should a student be expelled if they use stimulants to stay awake to cram for a test?
Everyone in elite sports knows they must use performance enhancers to compete at that level. If the authorities found a fool proof way to detect every performance enhancer known or unknown all the top guys would fail, but the "cheaters" are always a step ahead of the testers. I have no poblem watching "enhanced" athletes, because I know they're all using, and what it comes down to after you remove their "supplements" are the underlying genetics and advanced training which isn't "fair" either.
everybody cheats, its not like basketball or any other sport where winning is important, in track its about beating the record. In other sports its about beating the opponent in track its about beating the clock...only way to do that is drugs....Americans are the biggest cheaters, they hardly get caught because they are ahead of every1 else in the drug enhancing world.
how can you say that ephedrines have an small effect?, you obviously don't know a shit about doping
Carl Lewis has said several times that no one would be able to break his record without using drugs, for me if he says that is because he used drugs and knows that he did what he did just because of the drugs
he wasn't clean, he just never got caught, EPO wasn't detectable when he was running. I'm pretty sure that michael johnson was on roids too, it's just like victor conte says, all the athletes use roids in the off season, nobody's dumb enough to use roids during the season since ben got busted. Insn't it suprising that since EPO tests were created that distance records haven't fallen as much as they did in the 90s? Even now EPO testing isn't as advanced.
ese pinche ben johnson estuvo positivo 3 veces o mas no me acuerdo bien.
y una de las muchas veces el mismo voluntariamente tomo una prueva de drogas para que la gente vea que(segun el) no usa esteroides y todavia salio positivo la prueva
everybody, kwons in 1988 they both were dope , and i can thinks how they let lewis past the dope test, now johnson go cry again like went bayle bit you ,,,,,,,,you lood real good fequing the crams in your leg .....................no more comments
michael johnson is a tool, I don't know why he just doesn't keep his mouth shut, he knows damn well that he was taking drugs and is just playing to the status quo as every other sprinter who claims they don't dope, just like the idiot carl lewis. Ben's still kooler than anybody else.
Lewis NEVER tested positive for steroids. He tested positive for stimulants found in over the counter cold medicine; different types of ephedrine. It's helpful effects are minimal. This crap about Lewis has gone way too far. There is NO evidence Lewis used steroids
Minimal? Give me a break. This is what I do for a living. The effects are minimal for a normal person using this drugs. For a person running 100m its a big difference. In 100m only 1% bether muscle effect is important...So dont talk about things you dont know.
i think der r cover ups in loads of events-not jus the 100m. sebastian coe could rep 800m consistently for 1min50secs. and he slates dwain chambers like hell. least dwain admits it and runs clean now
He actually did admit it, what he is trying to say is why should he be shot down for it when everyone else is doing it. He is right, everyone else was and still is doing it. Carl was busted twice and Nike covered it up. Either way sad.
yes ben johnson. not michael johnson. he is cooler than usain bolt. micheal is just the man. btw, look at bolts shoes, fucking puma make the ugliest shoes ever! look at johnsons shoes!
puma spike shoes are ugly, same shit every year just different color. Nike has the best. Just look at johnsons golden shoes. thats the one usain should have
I agree with ben johnson the american's do bad tricks on people. I remember when they cut Mohamed ali's boxing glove to give him some time to recover.
gkipling is right, Carl Lewis tested positive too on that race with Ben Johnson getting caught. Why was Carl Lewis not stripped of his medal and never got banned. They covered up for him! That is the disgrace!
Simple , he is an Aamerican , if Ben was an American nothing would have come out of it . Flo Jo was lased with steroids just look on her body in 1984 vs 1988 and you will see .
Lewis tested pos. for a stimulant, not steroids. Should he ahve been banned in 88? Probably. Can you equate what he did to Johnson? Absolutely not. Go drink some cold medicine (filled with the ephedrine that Lewis tested pos. for) and see how much faster you run. THUMBS UP
According to Ben's own words he tried to blame it on some guy who spiked his drink-after the race-before HE provided the sample. Ben admits it was HIS sample. I didn't have to see the test result in the lab with my own eyes-neither should you. When people get caught they should simply admit it - stop trying to blame everyone else.
