As the 2008 Summer Olympics are coming to their end, I'm disabling the comments.

Ben was the man, the only sprinter to surpass his greatness in the last 20 years is Usain Bolt. fuck Carl Lewis, he is a hypocrite and a crybaby.

even if there was a bias in diving, it would not matter. china is head and shoulders above everyone in diving.

Funny as hell. Ben whipped Carl Lewis the "cry baby". Yeah, I know he made some movies, big fuck'in deal. Ben beat the shit out of him. Lewis was known even by fans as a mad complainer about everything not being right if he didn't win. Asshole. Good job Ben, your the man still!!!

Johnson was about a decade ahead of his time...he was the world record holder anyway when he won this,and the tests for those races said he was ok and he ran slightly slower but still quicker than Carl Lewis in the Seoul race...history showed Lewis was also on the "juice," so can we give back Johnson his medal now?

USA is killing everyone in the overall medal count and is catching up with china in the gold medal count....not to mention all the bias judging towards china in events such as gymnastics, diving, etc....you know this is true...USA ALWAYS crushes everyone in total olympic medals

he doped for many years without being caught and i guarantee you that most of the athletes in that race were doping...there are MANY ways to beat the drug tests....most track athletes stop taking performance enhancing drugs shortly before the olympics and other major meets in order to clear it out of their system so that they "pass" the tests....everytime the IOC comes up with another way to detect performance drugs in the body, a scientist comes up with another way to hide the drugs

What a joke...did that retard Johnson really think he wasn't going to get caught? Was he expecting the Olympic Committee to forget about testing him? Silly negro.

I can't understand. I remember this race was shown live in the States on NBC back in 1988 and now 20 years later, they are showing all the track events on tape delay. As a matter of fact, all the events in Seoul was shown live, even in the late night! NBC truly sucks now!
