Thirty years ago this week, Ben Johnson lit the world on fire by running a world-record 9.79 in the 100-m final at the 1998 Seoul Olympics. Then, it all fell apart. Steroids. The Dubin Inquiry. A failed comeback. Isolation. And, finally, cashing in on his infamy. Jeff and Stephen discuss Johnson’s legacy in Canada and around the world with comments from the sprinter himself.
