The Dirtiest Race In History: 1988 OLYMPIC 100M FINAL. by Tgnnews247: 11:34am On May 13, 2023 |
The 1988 Olympic 100M final in Seoul, Korea is no doubt the most controversial race ever in sport history. It is described by some as the dirtiest race in history, by others as the greatest. The race attracted headlines after four of the eight competitors broke the 10-second barrier and was won by Canada’s Ben Johnson, the reigning world champion and fastest man on the planet, who crossed the line in a new world record of 9.79sec. However, Johnson tested positive for anabolic steroids and was stripped of his title. Carl Lewis of the United States, Johnson’s arc rival, who initially took the second spot was declared the winner. By default became the first man to defend the Olympic 100m title successfully. However, Lewis and four other athletes in the race subsequently went on to test positive or be involved in the use or supply of performance-enhancing drugs. Here is everything to know about the dirtiest race in history. Read on by clicking the link. https://tgnnews247.com/the-dirtiest-race-in-history-1988-olympic-100m-final/ 1 Like 1 Share |
