He was caught, but they're all on something...even Carl Lewis was, and he didn't do much weights 
if you run near and under 10 in the 100m, your on something. The human body can't recover from the training needed to run under 10 naturally. That's what Ben Johnson said himself in an interview. It's like racing an F1 car, they're fast but break down real easy at that sort of performance level and tune.

problem is BJ had bad knees so he never did plyos
and his coach said he didn't have good coordination to do powercleans so he never did em
he just had raw speed, probbaly not a good athlete in terms of being fluid and such. Takes a certain type of brain for that, ie if your good dancer etc

I've heard a lot of people say they can run 10sec 100m's or sub 4.5 forties...
If you've ever seen a kid that can run an 11sec or high 10 (10.7, 10.8, etc) 100m or a 4.5 forty, your eyes would pop out of your head. Low 10 and sub 10 is unreal and rare.

an 11 - 11.5 sec 100m is fast but not REALLY fast... that second between 11 & 10 is the longest second, trust me. back in HS, i had done an 11.5 sec 100m which i thought was really fast... but that was my fastest ever... i don't know how much faster i could've got with better training, but i doubt it could have been high 10s even.super_rice said:
about drugs, hell, all of them are on AAS. carl lewis is POS, coz he kinda became the poster boy for drug free sprinting back when ben johnson got stripped of his '88 olympic gold. and then after he retired, he announced that he too, had used AAS... and as CCJ said, he didn't even do weights... it showed.
ben johnson got caught doing winny, but he claims he was clean (at least it was out of his sytem when he was tested). he says he was framed and i think he also claimed that his samples were tampered with/ report was doctored. don't take me up on the exact details of what he said though... i haven't read that interview in ages.

upper body and and lower back a bit trashed from my part time job
Was planning to go BBall today and jump around a bit. But it's wet and cold, and the local indoor BBall court is booked out
It's not actually raining right now, so I'll go and see if the the outdoor courts are dry enough to run around on

Sunday 11th June - Cycle 3 Get Lean+Maintain Strength - Week 7 DELOAD - Day 1 - BBALL - Microcycle 8
Went to the usual outdoor BBall court. Butt freezing cold today!
Windy and wet'ish too. Though the court was farily dry by the end of the session. Left before I got too trashed up
Bodyweight - 206lbs in winter clothing
Workout time - 45mins
Workout rating - 7/10
spent the first 25mins shooting around and warming up a bit.
Then went pretty full on, with lots of moves and jumping.
Had to be careful not to slip, so I wasn't able to gun some of my moves hard.
Been ages since I last played, and my dribbling was still pretty good. Shooting was decent too to start off, but dropped off after a while. Shoulders felt great on the hook shots, but my lats still feel pretty tight. I can feel em tug and stretch a bit at the top of a hook shot.
Jumping was interesting - standing VJ was lower, but my one step and 3 step jumps seem about the same. So my reactivity has improved in a round about sort of way...
Running one leg jump was 2+ inches lower than my standing VJ, so it still sucks, and my inner shin still aches when doing it. But it's been a few months since I last did em so my technique ain't great.
Total bodyweight today was up by a lot since last time I played so that doesn't help.
On a positive note, my landings feel awesome! I am barely dipping 2-3inches and there is zero give, bam I just lock up instantly and I can barely feel any impact force. It's like I'm landing from a 6 inch height and floating around the court on roller skates
On some of the landings I could feel my legs load up like springs as if I was doing a depth jump.
