...Lewis considered an American icon? Proof has come out that Lewis tested positive for steroids but it was hidden by the USA because they basically have zero morals when it comes to their athletes. Why is Ben Johnson vilified but Carl Lewis is still revered as one of the greatest sprinters in the history of the sport?
If you're wondering what got me thinking about these two athletes, I just read a funny article which could be true for all I know.

"I've been speaking to my lawyer and he wants to keep it as low (key) as possible until next June," Johnson said. "We're trying to get some information."
Good job so far Ben!
Everybody knows Lewis tested positive also, but paid off the authorities. The more chances to U.S. had to prove they were better than the Soviets, and the other Communists, the better; they didn't care if it meant cheating
but if you have seen the commercials....
`Ben, when you run, do you Cheetah?'
`Absolutely! I Cheetah all the time!'

Haha just what I was thinking...Perhaps Carl should join Ben for the next round of Cheetah commericals...
Poor Ben, that is one of the Worst commercial of all time, how could he bring himself to do it? I couldn't have paid him that much at all.

Gotta put food on the table somehow
I don't think Ben Johnson is getting too many other endorsements...
i say if you cheat:OFF WITH YOUR FEET!
What I want to know is which "marketing genius" sat in the boardroom and said "wait a second I've got a great idea for our new cheetah campaign......"
Dumbass.
