Ben Johnson: An attempt at redemption.
25 years later we're still on this? Yeah, yeah I get all the "for 8 seconds a nation was united" crap but really, enough already.
Poor guy must have gone through hell and we're filled with enough arrogant shit to still think he owes us an apology? He was a steroid user. He got caught. Move on.
As if he's the only one.
Some guys, it seems, can get away with far worse and be forgiven yet others (Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson come to mind) are treated as if they committed a heinous crime worthy of banishment to one of Dante's circles in hell.
The Ben Johnson story was cool for about five years after 1988 and then it was over. If you still feel hurt by it you need a doctor.
