This guy is the loser of the century. Ben Johnson says he was drinking beer in Seoul while waiting to be tested for gear, and Carl Lewis had some guy put winny in his beer. He claims this is why he failed the test and had his gold taken away.

Read the story here.

Funny, Charlie Francis has been quite frank about the drug use. He was using, like most others, he just got caught.

yea, Francis talks about it in the books Speed Trap. I think he mentions shit about it in the book Charlie Francis Training Systems as well.

Honestly though.....drugs didn't create Ben....He was a fucking incredible, elite runner at like 16yrs old. He was gifted.

Funny how he admits it then changes his story.

No doubt he was built for running. He's very stuck on himself, even though he spends his time watching roadrunner cartoons at home with his mother. I bet he imagines being the roadrunner and leaving the coyote in his dust. He needs some serious PR help:

"No. 1, that day, the drugs that they find in my system was not the drugs that I was using," he said. "No. 2, Ben Johnson was sabotaged in Seoul — somebody set me up."

Ben was an awesome runner already. I wish he would have stayed natural, he was already one of the best.
