@jrussell04 Ray Stewart is banned from athletics for life for doping offences. Even if he was not caught in 1987. He was coached by Usain Bolt's coach Glen Mills. All his notable athletes have been caught doping: Stewart, Dwain Chambers, Kim Collins, Yohan Blake etc.

@jrussell04 theres drugs and theres drugs. and theres cycles and cycles. the athletes who were using used fast acting, medium anabolic, low androgens and would come off long enough to test clean. ben took high anabolic, high androgens righ up to, and during, the day of events...a massive advantage.

@absolutebore rubbish, johnson was the only athlete stupid enough to push the limits with drugs. his downfall was the use of super androgenic substances...usually reserved for p[owerlifters. johnson was an also ran at his nationals and as a junior. the guy was all drugs.

@BigAussieDave22 .....all of them later tested positive to steroids

Very well put. The sport is full of hypocrites! Johnson was a superb athlete - only recently surpassed by Bolt.

Sem a tremenda dedicação do atleta ao treino, por muitas estratégias ilícitas que se pudessem utilizar, nunca se podia aspirar a tais resultados. De relembrar também que a época dos esferóides anabolizantes já lá vai Agora as substância utilizadas são muito mais selectivas e direccionadas. Já se toca a linha da dopagem genética. Para quem percebe da coisa, é fácil ver que o Usain não está a rodar à base de esteroides Isso é da época do Bem Jonhson lol Outros tempos
Sick of the ignorant demonisation of Johnson. Fact is he trained harder and everyone used chemicals(Christie and Lewis included) it all came down to their nationality and athletics association etc.
Johnson was a scapegoat. Lewis as great as he was had a massive ego and his drug useage got swept under the rug.
Remember Butch Reynolds 400m also.
Johnson was hung out to dry.
Ben was the best.

Kovacs was 5th and Bryzgin was 6th. Also Pavoni of Italy finished 8th after pulling up at the start.Must be the last time 3 white men lined up for a global 100m final.
