Ben’s Seoul date
Print Edition
Disgraced drugs cheat Ben Johnson will revisit the scene of his downfall this month, wrapping up a global anti-doping tour in the Seoul Olympic Stadium where he won his steroid-aided 100 meters gold. The Jamaica-born Canadian sprinter will visit the stadium on September 24 — the 25th anniversary of his run in the 1988 Olympic final in which he stormed to victory in a world-record time of 9.79 seconds. Three days later he was stripped of his medal, his time and ultimately his career after it was announced that he had tested positive for stanozolol, a banned anabolic steroid. Johnson is now heading up the #ChooseTheRightTrack campaign, which calls for new strategies to combat continued drug use in athletics.
