September 27, 1988 Johnson Incident shocked the world
On this day, 37 years ago, September 27, 1988 (August 17, 1988 in the lunar calendar), the Johnson Incident shocked the world. On September 27, 1988, the Johnson incident shocked the world. The glorious battle of the century turned into a major scandal and became a hot topic of public opinion here, eclipsing the five gold medal competitions that day. Please look at the timetable for the development of this storm: September 24, 1:30 pm: Johnson set a world record of 9.79 seconds in the 100-meter race, attracting worldwide attention. Canadians, especially Jamaica, are intoxicated. 4:30 p.m.: Johnson delayed arriving at the press conference venue, and his expression was too solemn when speaking, making some reporters suspicious. 1:45 a.m. September 26: Canadian officials receive a letter from the International Olympic Committee informing Johnson that his urine test was positive. 7 a.m.: The head of the Canadian delegation and chief medical officer met with Coach Johnson and others and briefed them on the situation. 10 a.m.: Canadian representatives open Johnson's second urine sample and discuss testing procedures. 3:30 p.m.: Canadian representatives went to the Silla Hotel to discuss the inspection results with senior Canadian officials. 3:30 a.m. September 27: Canadian officials met with Johnson and others to retrieve his gold medal and announce his expulsion from the Canadian team. 9 a.m.: The International Olympic Committee meets with the Canadian delegation and finally decides to disqualify Johnson from the competition. 10 a.m.: The International Olympic Committee released news. The main venue of the news center was crowded. Many reporters were denied a place, and the number reached a record since the Olympics. On the morning of the same day: Someone saw Johnson coming out of the Silla Hotel and looked depressed. 10:50 a.m.: Accompanied by many bodyguards, Johnson took the plane to New York and diverted his way home. On the morning of the same day: IAAF officials said that Johnson's condition was extremely serious and the IAAF would follow the rules. The Canadian Sports Minister announced that Johnson would be banned from participating in the Canadian team for life and would not be allowed to accept government funding to participate in competitions. "The general's reputation has been shattered in hundreds of battles." Johnson, a generation of superstar, lost his footing and became an everlasting hatred. He became the seventh person to fail the urine test at this Olympic Games and the third person to lose a gold medal because of it. The Olympics were shocking! The world was shocked! The IOC officials looked solemn, and the Canadian delegation spokesperson filled with tears. Public opinion was abuzz, and a newspaper here took the lead in publishing a special issue and reported the incident with big headlines. Canadians were shocked and distressed. A Canadian radio announcer shouted into space: "Johnson, how could you do this?" Canadians complained about Johnson's stupidity, who should have known the consequences of taking the medicine. Johnson moved to Canada from Jamaica at the age of 14, making the 50,000 Jamaica people in Toronto even more shocked and distressed by this unexpected and cruel fact. Johnson's coaches and others are still making weak excuses. They said Johnson was given a soft drink before the semifinals or finals, and he drank it. His doctor later found some yellow sticky material on the bottom of the bottle and the smell was a bit unusual. Is this another ancient mystery? However, the International Olympic Committee can only make a judgment based on solid facts. This explanation can only leave a weak defense for the current fierce public opinion.
