very interesting, 8 of the 12 finalist in the '88 100m when ben was caught have since been involved in positive drugs tests! HOW pissed must lewis have been back in the '80s knowing full well that most of them were using!

ps- what we need is a 2nd olympics run like the bodybuilding shows (ie. no one cares about drug use) we could have these monsters running sub 6 100m and chucking the javeline out of the stadium!

Carl Lewis, Mr. Clean himself, tested positive ! (below taken from http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/04/18/1050172756680.html

Lewis was initially banned for six months by the US Olympic Committee - which would have ruled him out of the 1988 Games - but the ban was quashed on appeal, but never made public, leaving critics to now scream cover-up

IIRC they stripped Ben Johnson of his medal, but the world record stood.

I remember seeing a picture of his car, and the number plate was NINE79.

A mate of mine used to cycle competitively. He gave up before the very top rung for reasons of personal health. Say no more!
