Wow: Ben Johnson calls out King Carl (Lewis)- Says he's ''not a man" unless he comes clean and confesses to PED use

Ben Johnson speaks the truth but Lewis is one of the most image obsessed athletes ever so he won't.

Yawn.

What Carl did was equivalent to taking a few cups of coffee before a race. If anyone thinks that what he did had as much of an impact as anything Ben Johnson did, they need to get their head examined.

You can run, but you can't hide.

So, we know that Carl Lewis was the greatest sprinter and jumper of his generation and Ben Johnson couldn't come close to him except when he was roided up beyond belief and lied continually throughout his career about his roid use. Ben Johnson couldn't carry his jock.

Rojo, or whomever you are, tell the WHOLE truth.

By the Wade Exum claims, Carl tested three times for the "stimulants" in......Contac and Sudafed. That's it. He tested positive for cold medicine. Ben Johnson is an Olympic CRIMINAL who singlehandedly put Track and Field into disrepute with his steroid taking. We know that the East Germans cheated like crazy, but it's Ben Johnson's name that everybody knows about. And now Ben is defaming Carl as part of his campaign to get out from under the lifetime ban that he's under for his own actions, not those of Carl.

If you want to claim that pseudoephedrine and whatever it was that was in Contac back then are performance enhancing, you have to explain why those things are LEGAL now when taken by the directions. The people who should be banned for pseudoephedrine are the so-called scientific "experts" that put it on the banned list in the first place, because the presence of maybe the most popular cold medicine on the banned list damaged a large number of athletes.

And Moses Said ...

"I stand with all the athletes who believe in doing things right. The ones who win and the ones who lose while knowing they have been cheated out of their positions. There are thousands if not tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of those kinds of athletes out there. We have to remember them."- Edwin Moses gives his thoughts on the 1984 LA Olympics US drug coverup

The sad story here is that you think that Carl only was taking cold medicine. Yes...he did take stimulants AND steroids AND HGH.

Undetectable at the time and covered up by corrupt USADA, st the time.

Carl might have been a little dirty but Johnson was filty, two different degrees of cheating here.

k so he tested positive for stimulants....lance never tested positive...so obviously carl did more then just stimulants....in the 30 for 30 the one lab guy said some results mysteriously disappeared

Ugh, stop with the pretense at knowledge. You're naming drugs with no evidence whatsoever.

All the roids/HGH claims are ridiculous.... people are calling him a cheat for the wrong reasons. If you all hate Carl so much why don't you call him a cheat for getting someone into the olympic testing room instead of false accusations.

"All the roids/HGH claims are ridiculous.... people are calling him a cheat for the wrong reasons. If you all hate Carl so much why don't you call him a cheat for getting someone into the olympic testing room instead of false accusations"

And what exactly would he need someone in the Olympic testing room for?

Carl Lewis did not dope. If Carl Lewis was doping he would have been running 9.7's and 9.6's and jumping 32 feet.

As great a career Carl had, he could easily done even better, the 1980 boycott cost him at least one medal, probably two and 2 botched 4x1 relays. Also, he become so obsessed with the LJ and 100 and was winning 200s so easily that he stopped running for time in the 200, which was perhaps his best event. Carl could have run under 19.5 for the 200m.

clean Carl Lewis and his braces

LOL, the good old braces comment. LR's full of scientists.

every elite coach and past elite sprinter has told me carl was dirty and ben got screwed lol . I don't need to be told that though its so obvious. Carl willnever come clean just like other athletes that snuck away into the night without getting caught. U of H has a dam statue of him in their indoor track I cringe everytime I walk in there and see it. What represents That entire facility is a fraud from Tellez to burrell and Carl lol. Cant wait to burrell son to beat his butt down lol

Not a man, huh? How would one tell if a certain individual was a real man? Is there some objective test out there?

It's easy to feel some sympathy for Ben Johnson. Yes, he cheated. There is nothing heroic about him due to that. However, he knows that the 1988 Olympic 100m final was full of drug cheats. That much has been pretty clearly confirmed. He believed he was just doing what everyone else was doing. So he won and yet he was the only one busted. It's easy to see how he would feel singled out.

Carl Lewis DID have positive tests that were ignored. Technically, if the rules had been followed, he shouldn't have even been in the 1988 Olympics. Whether or not it was actually just because he took cold medicine, who knows? To me it seems unlikely. For one thing, you would think it would have been common knowledge that taking cold medicine would cause a positive test, if that was the case. I mean, just to spell it out clearly, it seems the more likely scenario is he actually intentionally took stimulants because he knew they would benefit him, and later claimed that the positives must have been due to cold medicine.

And a lot of people seem to be happy to say, stimulants are no big deal really compared to steroids. I say, maybe, or maybe not. It's not like there's tons of good data out there about the benefits of stimulants in athletic events. I assume that since they are banned, they must provide some kind of benefit.
