EDITORS COMMENTS

In this iconic print from the 1988 Seoul Olympics, we witness a historic moment tainted by controversy. Ben Johnson of Canada (#6) triumphantly raises his hand as he effortlessly outpaces his competitors in the Men's 100m Final. The chasing pack includes Carl Lewis of the USA (#3) and Linford Christie of Great Britain (#4), both desperately trying to catch up to Johnson's lightning speed. Johnson's victory seemed untouchable, setting a new World Record with an astonishing time of 9.79 seconds. However, just three days later, the world was stunned when it was revealed that Johnson had tested positive for anabolic steroids. This revelation shattered not only his personal achievements but also tarnished the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship at the Olympic Games. As a result, Carl Lewis was subsequently awarded the gold medal while Linford Christie received silver. This turn of events forever marred what should have been remembered as one of athletics' greatest moments. This powerful image captured by Colorsport photographer Stewart Fraser serves as a reminder that even amidst great athletic feats, integrity must always prevail over cheating and illegal substances. It stands as a testament to both human achievement and our responsibility to uphold ethical standards in sports competitions worldwide.
