Level 4 · 8 mo agoI swear the double standard with Carl Lewis is the real story. He failed three tests for stimulants but the USOC just waved it away as accidental. Johnson was just the one they decided to sacrifice.

Level 9 · 10 mo agoIf 6 out of 8 runners are juicing it’s not a race anymore it’s a science fair lol. Ben Johnson just had the best formula. Poor Calvin Smith really showed up to a gunfight with a pocket knife.
