I remember watching that Lewis vs. Johnson build up and drama as a kid. And then when they stood there on the start line in Seoul, Ben Johnson was so ridiculously huge and his eyes so yellow that his testing positive later was just a matter of time.
in the other hand, Carl was using braces as an adult, Flo Jo was as huge as Ben (compare photos of her in 83' and 88'), and also you had the Russians, The East Germans...90% of the field was doped in Seoul. Ben was a scapegoat. Russ Rogers (US sprints coach in Seoul) said that 80% of american sprinters were on the juice.
And dont forget Don Catlin, Director UCLA Olympic Lab 1983-1984. When he said
“I was curious.How many things did we miss in 1984? And I had, for whatever reason, kept (samples) in the refrigerator …tested 102 samples according to modern methods we could see drugs… we did see more than we saw in 1984. And then I thought, better not to do this. We are seeing too much!...â€.

US vs USSR dual meets. 19 meets from 1958-1985 with the most famous being the 1962 meet at Stanford that had 150,000 fans for the two-day meet. With the Cold War backdrop, this was a great, great rivalry!
I'm not disputing this but where did he say this? I heard him quoted that on testing samples back then he was adamant that John Walker had the cleanest sample, no bull.

There was no rivalry between Geb and KB. When they met on the track Geb was way past his track prime (although he still did a fabulous race in the 2003 WC).

Once Upon a time Defar and Dibaba rivalry on Golden league was so super. When Dibaba went for her last last win to take the golden league, Defar deny her producing one of the greatest, thrilling last lap in women 5K.
