The men's 100m final at the 1988 Olympics has been described as the dirtiest race ever - but also the greatest. Aside from Ben Johnson's blistering time, the race is infamous for its athletes' positive drug tests. This is the story of that race, the rivalry between Johnson and Lewis, and the repercussions still felt in the sport.
