Inside Track

At the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, Carl Lewis won four gold medals, matching the track and field accomplishments of the legendary Jesse Owens and making him one of the best known athletes in the world. At the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, he was part of the most talked about race ever, the controversial 100-metre sprint final, when he was awarded the gold medal after the winner, Ben Johnson of Canada, was disqualified for taking steroids. Until now, Lewis has never said what he really thinks about what happened in Seoul.
