Summary:
"The 1988 Seoul Olympics hosted what has been described as both "the
dirtiest
race
of all time" and "the greatest track event in
history
." The unforgettable men’s 100 meter
race
has become infamous for the elation of breaking a seemingly impossible world record for human speed and for the doping scandal that followed. This book is a groundbreaking investigative account into the story of
Ben
Johnson
and
Carl
Lewis
, and how one of the oldest of
Olympic
sports became a complex high-stakes game of cheating, cover-up, and fallen heroes."--Publisher.
