And here in the UK, Linford Christie is still seen as one of the best -if not the best - sprinter, and he was doped up here in '88 and throughout his career. question marks over Carl Lewis too.... the difference in this era is between those sprinters who were caught.... and those whose reputations escaped free from doping.

1. They were all doping. 2. No one had or will ever have the insane timing and explosion out of the block that Big Ben achieved. 3. His form was immaculate - even by today's standards.
I watched the t.v this day when johnson "won" and lewis was my idol and i refused to think he loose in this way without knew ... This is the day were the athletism is dead.
Desai Williams in that first race would've had the fastest 40yd dash time in that race yet he finished 4th. I reference this for football fans who think the runners with the fastest 40 times are the actual fastest on the field all the time
You never run 100m in a straight line in football. And it's no good having a slow start then gliding through at 60m like Lewis does, because in football that slow start will have got you tackled within 2 seconds.
@@johng1634 You NEVER run a straight line in football? You sir sound like youve never watched football. Ever heard of a go route? Anyway, yes most of the time there is some kind of cut. But guys like jerry rice who had a terrible 40 time would find ways to wrong foot dbs which bought him enough time to build momentum and speed and once he did that he often ran away from DBs(who probably had better 40 times) for 60+ yard tds. Sparky is right having a fast 40 doesnt always mean you're the fastest on the field.
@@presidentresident I said you never run 100m in a straight line. Acceleration is more important than top end speed because you very rarely get the 30 yards of clear straight running that it takes for someone like Lewis or Usain Bolt to reach their top end speed.
I heard (so I'm not sure if it's true), but he regularly was able to jump out of the blocks in under a tenth of a second, which is deemed humanly impossible.
@@scottwheeler2911 Exactly. I think many not alive back then or those who have forgotten 34 years on that a few days after ‘winning’ the 100m final, he tested positive for a banned anabolic steroid and was sent home in disgrace. If he couldn’t run clean, don’t run at all.

LEGENDARY
Nuff respect Ben Johnson, you were one of the greatest!!
He slowed down and took it easy
Cool how is family was watching from rexdale hope they r proud if him I'd say. He is a close second to bolt all time
I still don't give a sh1t, Ben is a star. Carl was juiced up like crazy and apparently had been caught twice before but it was taken care of. Ben is still the winner.
THATS. MY. FAVORITE
Is long time the yellow vest of jamaica 🇯🇲 been talking about.
Longer the legs, longer the steps....no big deal Karl !!!
Ben, the Don of sprint!!! 👍❤️💐
Ben, the Don of Steroids!
1. They were all doping.
2. No one had or will ever have the insane timing and explosion out of the block that Big Ben achieved.
3. His form was immaculate - even by today's standards.
I watched the t.v this day when johnson "won" and lewis was my idol and i refused to think he loose in this way without knew ...
This is the day were the athletism is dead.
Desai Williams in that first race would've had the fastest 40yd dash time in that race yet he finished 4th. I reference this for football fans who think the runners with the fastest 40 times are the actual fastest on the field all the time
You never run 100m in a straight line in football. And it's no good having a slow start then gliding through at 60m like Lewis does, because in football that slow start will have got you tackled within 2 seconds.

@@johng1634 You NEVER run a straight line in football? You sir sound like youve never watched football. Ever heard of a go route? Anyway, yes most of the time there is some kind of cut. But guys like jerry rice who had a terrible 40 time would find ways to wrong foot dbs which bought him enough time to build momentum and speed and once he did that he often ran away from DBs(who probably had better 40 times) for 60+ yard tds. Sparky is right having a fast 40 doesnt always mean you're the fastest on the field.
@@presidentresident I said you never run 100m in a straight line. Acceleration is more important than top end speed because you very rarely get the 30 yards of clear straight running that it takes for someone like Lewis or Usain Bolt to reach their top end speed.
Ben was the only runner that looked like he regularly lifts weights.
Errr linford?
On steroids

MY. FAVORITE RUNNERS
Gue Bangga Ada Mardi Lestari di Line Start, hidup Indonesia...🇮🇩
Johnson had such power out of the blocks.
I heard (so I'm not sure if it's true), but he regularly was able to jump out of the blocks in under a tenth of a second, which is deemed humanly impossible.
Anabolic steroids helped him blast out of the blocks
@@markwright5223 Not so - his reflexes were unreal with or without the 'roids
@@DingKong coke and stuff sharpens your reflex... the jump out was supported by steroid use... it's not all, but drugs helped him
Because he used steroids.
Ben Johnson was a badass!!!
That family watching on must have been so proud....
Proudly said we had our Indonesian there, Mardi.
Ben Johnson, the most explosive sprinter of all time.
He got pulled up for PEDs test failure but Lewis wasn't. How come?
Because Lewis didn't test positive.
Carl Lewis tested positive for PED also, but Olympic Committee scared to yank 2 off podium.
Just shows life for a human is almost like the
blink of the eye.
A blink of the eye that lasts about 80 years.
Este é o mais interessante vídeo que encontrei hoje.
My fave, lane 7 Mardi Lestari from 🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨 Indonesia...
Ben world record stood for more than a decade. He was years ahead of his time
what, because he knew the right dose of steroids?
@@scottwheeler2911 Car Lewis was juicing also. He just never got caught.
@@scottwheeler2911 Exactly. I think many not alive back then or those who have forgotten 34 years on that a few days after ‘winning’ the 100m final, he tested positive for a banned anabolic steroid and was sent home in disgrace. If he couldn’t run clean, don’t run at all.
