World record

World record. The media had only one topic in advance: who would be the fastest man in the world? The American Carl Lewis or the Canadian Ben Johnson who had his roots in Jamaica. Everyone admired Ben Johnson's extremely muscular body. 100m final. After just a few meters, Ben Johnson has an advantage over Carl Lewis. He wins a new world record of 9.79. Carl Lewis came in at 9.92, Briton Linford Christie at 9.97. Johnson was celebrated by the media, everyone wondered how such a fantastic world record was possible. Two days later they had the answer: Ben Johnson had been doped with the anabolic steroid stanozolol. He had to give up his gold medal again, the disqualified man fled Seoul. Johnson later admitted by his doctor Dr. George Astaphan being doped. The last doping syringe had been given 22 days before its first start. In order for the doping agent to break down faster, it was even connected to a blood purification machine. Johnson was banned for two years.
