The Race That Shocked the World (2012)

Daniel Gordon's documentary about the doping scandal of sprinter Ben Johnson at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Johnson's 100m time was astonishing. He was the unpromising runner who became a Canadian hero for getting gold in 1988, but then a villain by testing positive for banned substances, getting stripped of his medal and sent home in disgrace. But who else was doping?
