Ben Johnson Interview
Posted by Ethan Barron on Thursday, July 8th, 2010
I know that my Nationals post is still due up. It’s written, but this one is a little more time sensitive so I thought I’d throw it up there. Also, we’ve had some pretty good discussions on this site about performance enhancing drugs so I thought you’d be interested.
The BBC just interviewed Ben Johnson about his new book that is coming out “Seoul to Soul” and they will be broadcasting the whole interview this evening. It will be at 9:00pm BST which I believe is 4:00pm EST (I may be wrong), so it could be a good way to kill some time at work.
The interview oddly reeks of Jose Canseco who drummed up support for his books by saying some outlandish stuff. However, didn’t most of what Jose say turn out to be true. I haven’t heard the interview yet, just read some excerpts. Here’s the link to the BBC article. You be the judge.
I’ll hold out judgement on anything until I read the book and hear the interview, but ask me if I think that all of Athletics (all of professional sports for that matter) could be dirty and I don’t know how I’d answer. The fact that I pause scares me a bit. It scares me, but it saddens me more.
