100meln victory Carl Lewis And on Tuesday we were groan and shaking our heads in disbelief In a Canadian nightmare version of Ben Of course what has transpired since Johnson s historic and mind boggling burst of speed last Friday night In Seoul goes far beyond any petty hurt feelings of nationalistic pride and betrayal we as might feel It goes far beyond self righteousness and The proper word here would ap pear quite simply lobe sad Sad for Ben Johnson regardless of the reasons he may or may not have ingested alleged amounts of muscle building performance enhancing anabolic steroid drugs Sad to watch out politicians wash their hands of Ben Johnson with as much vigor as they once embraced him Just days earlier Sad that some of the world a top athletes feel compelled to risk their health or the pursuit of glory Popular legend has it thai American weight lifters in troduced anabolic steroids to North American athletics in the 1950s after returning from a Euro pean competition
