BlaccAmerican Just because Ben has more muscle than Carl doesn't mean he is on more stuff. If u watch Carl lift, he lifted with less weight and focused on velocity and endurance for 200m and 100. Ben on the other hand was purely 100m. He lifted 400 pounds without focusing on velocity, just brute strength.

@brenwalsh9232 9 лет назад

Andrew K No, Lewis did not test positive before or after this. Lewis never tested positive for PEDs. He tested positive for minuscule amounts of stimulants that were not at all performance enhancing, as well as being ingested inadvertently via a cold medicine remedy. He was investigated by all the authorities and was never convicted with any doping offence. Get your facts straight! Ben was the man using PEDs. Anabolic steroids. This explains his dramatic time gains during the mid to late 80s.

You make a fair point, they were both great athletes, but what differentiates them in my eyes is Johnson has come clean about his PED usage where Lewis still tries to maintain up until the present day that he was clean all along, also Lewis was suggesting Johnson was using PED's when they were competing without directly pointing the finger, many of us know Lewis was also using banned PED's.

No doubt Ben cheated. It doesn't piss me off so much that Carl cheated too, more that he was such a big supporter of Ben's crucifixion, all the while claiming to be the one who had been cheated. I saw Ben 2 days ago, watching a high school track meet. He's a quiet guy, who still loves the sport. He did what people told him to do to do the thing he was best at as well as he could. Carl loved Carl and cheated to make sure everyone else love Carl. Wonder who feels like a cheater now?

@EPizits 13 лет назад

@PULCINHO and the fact that they were both cheating and Johnson still won should show that on or off drugs he was faster than Lewis. Lewis is just an arrogant jackass who always points his finger at who he thinks is cheating. When in reality he was doping himself. He knows that Ben Johnson technically beat him fair and square as both of them failed drug test. So the playing field was even.
