Tone[edit]

this entry comes across as being self-promotional rather than informative. nowhere does it mention Charlie Francis' involvement in the Ben Johnson scandal.

i agree. and add to this that the above comments were erased by a vandal. i ve added a bit from the Ben Johnson page. this character deserves a bit more of a write up for his infamy in the Johnson scandal involvement and for his being the Canadian champ at one time. -Mayumashu 14:56, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The link to charliefrancis.com is not his site

Wrong - it's most definitely his website. Yankees76 14:33, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a different Charlie Francis

No, it's not - and stop blanking the links on the article. Yankees76 21:11, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
