Ben Johnson was robbed. Carl Lewis's blood sample was possitive as well but it got burried.

@ytubeserb yeah i think you are the only person i have seen who understands the relation between height and sprinting. And i like that you gave good history. I think it could be argued that if Bolt had Johnson's work ethic in the weightroom that bolt would be even greater. But that is all speculation, and it actually has looked like bolt has put on some signficant mass since 2008.

Ben's 3.67 30m in Seoul is still not beaten. Bolt had 3.78 in Berlin. At 60m Bolt had 6.31, Ben 6.33.Both reached their top speed at that time and maintaining it is Bolts greatest gift. Ben's Seoul time is 9.72 in reality because he shut down at 80m. If his career didn't come to an end then he would go onto 9.6X for sure (not to mention the faster surfaces today).Bolt would still win at his best, but Ben would sure give him a lot of trouble. But only with the late Charlie Francis in his corner.

@davros59 Bolts height is actually a disadvantage for 100m. He's not the only tall sprinter, there were others, but only he was able to overcome it. For Ben, that height would never work, as it would change his start and acceleration completely, for the worse. When put in the same era, Ben, with the potential he had, would actually be closer to Bolt than any of the other sprinters today. Explanation continues in the next comment.
