The Men's 100 metres at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea ended in controversy, after Canada's Ben Johnson defeated defending champion Carl Lewis from the United States with a world record time of 9.79s. Two days after the final however, Johnson was stripped of his gold medal by the IOC when his post-race drug test indicated steroid use. His record time of 9.79 seconds was also erased. However, Johnson was not the only participant with a cloud over his success. Carl Lewis, Linford Christie and Dennis Mitchell all tested positive for banned substances during their careers.[1] The race has been nicknamed by one writer to be "the dirtiest in history".[2]

[edit] Records

These were the then-recognized world and Olympic records (in seconds) prior to the 1988 Summer Olympics.

World Record 9.83 Canada Ben Johnson Rome (ITA) August 30, 1987
Olympic Record 9.95 United States Jim Hines Mexico City (MEX) October 14, 1968

Johnson's world record was rescinded by the IAAF Council in September 1989.

Carl Lewis was awarded the new Olympic record upon being awarded the gold medal after Johnson's failed steroid test. This time was also recognized as the new world record after Johnson's time was disallowed in 1989.
