    EDIT. Not according to Wiki. Lewis won the 100m in 84, and 88 - but not 92. He did win Gold in 4 'limpics in a row in Long Jump though.
    Linford won it in 92! Don't you remember? That race was one of my childhood sporting highlights

              I see Veronica Campbell-Brown has tested positive.

              Veronica Campbell-Brown tests positive for banned substance: Jamaican news report

              Jamaican track star may not compete at Edmonton International Track Classic June 29 at Foote Field

              EDMONTON - A Jamaican news report Friday said track star Veronica Campbell-Brown has tested positive for a banned substance, which would be a major blow to the Edmonton International Track Classic.

              The longtime sprint star’s A sample tested positive for a diuretic, which acts as a masking agent, at the Jamaica Invitational meet on May 4, The Gleaner reported on Friday.

              The B sample result was confirmed on Friday, the Jamaican newspaper reported.

              The International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) is expected to rule on the finding by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) early next week.

              Campbell-Brown was signed as one of the headliners for the EITC, which goes on June 29 at Foote Field.

              Officials for the Edmonton track meet would not comment on the news report.

                We should do a sweep on how long before Usain gets done

                I would say it will be larger than Lance Armstrong because of his interaction with the public and how he has carried track and field for the last few years

                  Tyson Gay pulled out of Moscow after testing positive. Says he "put his trust in someone and was let down."

                    Shame for the sport.

                    Been very out-spoken on his cleanliness too.

                            If he has tested positive the damage to athletics will be huge.

                              Called this ages ago. It's so obvious IMO. Jamaicans have always been good sprinters, but the last 5 or so years the improvement is ridiculous. I've been convinced cheating is rife over there for a while now.
