EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of the Men's 100m Final at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Ben Johnson, representing Canada and wearing number 6, is seen breaking away from his competitors in an impressive display of speed and power. Behind him, both Carl Lewis (#3) from the USA and Linford Christie (#4) from Great Britain are desperately trying to catch up. In this historic race held at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul Sports Complex, Seoul, South Korea, Johnson crossed the finish line first with a new World Record time of 9.79 seconds. However, just three days later, his victory was tarnished as he tested positive for anabolic steroids and was subsequently disqualified. As a result of Johnson's disqualification, Carl Lewis was awarded the gold medal while Linford Christie received silver. This controversial turn of events shook not only the world of athletics but also highlighted issues surrounding illegal drug use in sports. The image captured by Colorsport photographer Stewart Fraser serves as a reminder that even moments of triumph can be marred by scandal. It symbolizes both athletic excellence and ethical dilemmas faced within competitive sports like never before.
