Johnson plans Seoul return
Disgraced Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson will return to Seoul later this month in an anti-doping ambassadorial role, exactly 25 years after his infamous 100m Olympic run in the South Korean capital. In what remains one of sport's most high-profile doping cases, Johnson won gold in a world record time of 9.79 sec but was stripped of his victory three days later after steroids were detected in his system. "I'm still living with the bad choices I made," the 51-year-old wrote in an open letter on the campaign website.
