It is 20 years since Ben Johnson was stripped of his 100m gold medal and thrown out of the Seoul Olympics for using performance enhancing drugs. There were drug stories before, and there have been plenty since, but none made the impact that his did in 1988. I spoke to him about what has since become known as the dirtiest race in history as Carl Lewis, who was promoted to gold, had failed three drugs tests at the 1988 US Olympic trials, while Britain's silver medallist Linford Christie also failed a drugs test later in his career. Johnson gave a compelling interview. He gets quite personal about Lewis, but the two never had the greatest relationship and it's pretty strong stuff. He alluded to the fact that if testing was better back then he might not have taken drugs. He also said he was surprised when his positive drugs test came back for stanazolol, when he only took other drugs. There are the same conspiracy theories that were doing the rounds back then, but they ring more true now and people are more prepared to believe the stories. The impression was that the individual athletics federations weren't as keen to catch their high profile athletes and that he was castigated and victimised because of what happened. There were times when I had to remind him that he did take drugs, but when I finished speaking to him, I wasn't sure how I felt. I had some sympathy for what he was saying and understood it from that point of view, but h ...
Well, I had to get round to the men's 100m at the 1988 Seoul Games at some point and as this year is the 20 th anniversary, it fits in quite nicely. I remember being in absolute awe of Ben Johnson, not just because he won the 100m, or because he beat Carl Lewis, but because he ran the perfect race. He exploded out of the blocks, was into his running quickly, surged away from the field and blazed across the line with his arm raised in 9.79 seconds - phenomenal. Watch the race again and admire how the 100m sprint should be run. And the look on Lewis' face with his puffed out cheeks as he trailed in second seemed to sum up what the world had just witnessed. But then of course the dream turned into a nightmare. Everyone suspected the Eastern Bloc countries had been up to no good for several years, but a Canadian ? Surely not. Johnson was stripped of his title for using an anabolic steroid called stanozolol, had his 1987 world record time wiped and was banned for life. There is far more to this story, such as the Johnson v Lewis battles around the time, accusations of other athletes taking drugs and conspiracy theories involving spiked drinks. Even Lewis, who was so outspoken against Johnson, has recently admitted to failing a drugs test at the US Olympic trials in the run-up to the 1988 Seoul Games. If you are interested, you can hear more from Johnson himself in a BBC Radio 4 documentary, where he is interviewed by Steve Cram. The p ...
