Ben Johnson
Ben Johnson went from king of the Olympic Games of Seoul to great cheat in 48 hours. The so-called 'race of the century' was overshadowed by the doping of the Canadian. The final of the smooth 100 meters of the Olympic Games in Seoul went down in history as the best race of all time. 48 hours later they went down in history by the positive of Ben Johnson.
48 hours later, everything changed. It is official that the Canadian has tested positive for anti-doping by stanozolol, an anabolic that boosts muscle mass.
Johnson confessed that he had been doped to defeat Lewis and that he had been doing it for several years. He was stripped of his gold and, consequently, the world record, passed to Lewis, who thus revalidated the title achieved four years earlier . He was suspended for two years. He returned and was in Barcelona'92, although he could not qualify for the final of the 100 meters because in the semifinal he stumbled at the start and was in last place. He was not the same again.
