    In that case, Linford won gold. He never cheated.

    Errr, fairly sure he got banned for drugs.

    that final wasn't the best advert for athletics was it. Fairly sure the slowest lad on the grid could have taken his time, supped a beer (legal drug), and sauntered over the line in a minute and 14 seconds and end up getting the gold 20 years later

    I was being ironic.

    That was '88, wasn't it? He got done for drugs some time after he won gold in '92. But in '88, when Johnson got done, the Beeb {or someone} asked Linford what he felt about now going up from a bronze to a sliver. He said he was happy with his bronze. Thought that was a bit strange at the time, but makes sense now.

    Guess it must have been like the TdF. Everyone was on it, everyone had the same drugs, so they all thought the results fair.
